Python Basic: Exercise-120 with Solution

Write a Python program to format a specified string and limit the length of a string.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a string containing a numeric value.
str_num = "1234567890"

# Print the original string.
print("Original string:", str_num)

# Print the first 6 characters of the string.
print('%.6s' % str_num)

# Print the first 9 characters of the string.
