How to get the first 2 letters of a string in Python?

2024/11/20 16:25:35

Let's say I have a string

str1 = "TN 81 NZ 0025" 
two = first2(str1)
print(two)  # -> TN

How do I get the first two letters of this string? I need the first2 function for this.

Answer

It is as simple as string[:2]. A function can be easily written to do it, if you need.

Even this, is as simple as

def first2(s):return s[:2]
