Python For Og Lecture 10 String Slicing

This document discusses string slicing in Python. String slicing allows printing of multiple characters from a string by specifying a start and stop index. It demonstrates slicing a string to print portions like 'res' and 'reserv' from the string 'reservoir'. It also shows using a step argument to slice and print every other character or reverse a string. Finally, it provides an exercise to input a user's age, reverse it, and print the result.
