Even easier is a blank slice. The start defaults to zero, the

I have another question. I don’t understand why below would give an error?
>>> greeting = 'Hello World'

Hi Scott,
The variable greeting is of type "string".
>>> greeting = "Hello world"
>>> type(greeting)
The len(string) will count each character in the value of variable
"greeting" starting from '1'.
H - 1
e - 2
l - 3
l - 4
0 - 5
space - 6(Space and special characters are also counted)
