I can’t for the life of work out how to do it in Python? How would you do it without Python? Given that if the string is called x, then x[y] is the y'th character (where what you would call "the first character," Python calls "the zeroth character"), describe the steps you would take *as a person* (or in some other programming language, if you know one) to carry out this task. Translating that algorithm to Python is the next step. Perhaps https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html can help. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
