Strings can be subscripted (indexed)

Strings can be subscripted (indexed)
#like in C, the first character of a string has subscript (index) 0. 
#There is no separate character type; a character is simply a string of size one. 
#Like in Icon, substrings can be specified with the slice notation: 
#two indices separated by a colon.

word = "Hello world"

print word[4]

print word[0:2]

print word[2:4]

print word[:2]    # The first two characters

print word[2:]    # Everything except the first two characters

print 'x' + word[1:]

print 'Splat' + word[4]
