Question

g The function below takes a single string parameter: sentence. Complete the function to return everything but the middle 10 characters of the string. You can assume that the parameter always has at least twelve characters and is always an even number of characters long. Hint: To find the middle of the string, you can half the length of the string (floor division). Then slice out 5 less than the middle to 5 more than the middle.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. def processString(sentence):
2.    middle = len(sentence) // 2
3.    output = sentence[0: middle - 5] + sentence[middle+5:]
4.    return output
6. print(processString("I have a dream"))

Explanation:

Create a function processString that take sentence as input paratemer (Line 1).

Next create a variable middle to hold the value of middle index of sentence string (Line 2)

Build the output string by slicing the input sentence from first character to character middle - 5th and from middle + 5th till the end of the string (Line 3).

Test the function using a sample sentence and we shall get the output "I am"
