What are the valid indexes for the string ‘New York’?
Select one:
A. -1 through 6
B. -1 through -8
C. 0 through 7
D. 0 through 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is C. 0 through 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Python, strings are indexed starting from 0 for positive indices, with negative indices counting backward from the end of the string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the string 'New York'<\/code>. The string consists of 8 characters, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

'N' 'e' 'w' ' ' 'Y' 'o' 'r' 'k'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
For positive indices (0 through 7), the characters are indexed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Index 0: ‘N’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 1: ‘e’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 2: ‘w’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 3: ‘ ‘ (space)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 4: ‘Y’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 5: ‘o’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 6: ‘r’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Index 7: ‘k’<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Thus, the valid indices for the string 'New York'<\/code> using positive indexing range from 0 to 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For negative indices, Python starts counting from the last character of the string, which is at index -1, moving backward to the beginning of the string. For 'New York'<\/code>, the negative indices are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Index -1: ‘k’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -2: ‘r’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -3: ‘o’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -4: ‘Y’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -5: ‘ ‘ (space)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -6: ‘w’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -7: ‘e’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Index -8: ‘N’<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      Thus, negative indices range from -1 to -8<\/strong> for the string 'New York'<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      The Index Range:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Positive indices: 0 through 7 (8 characters total)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Negative indices: -1 through -8 (same 8 characters, but in reverse order)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        Given that the valid indices for the string 'New York'<\/code> are 0 through 7 for positive indexing, the correct answer is C. 0 through 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
