Welcome to SO! By what operation are you achieving the result? Every other char? What code have you tried and where are you stuck? — ggorlen, Nov 27 '18 at 02:28
x = 'Python is an interesting and useful language for numerical computing!' — user10709107, Nov 27 '18 at 02:36

List indexing magic (rather no magic)

data = 'Python is an interesting and useful language for numerical computing!'
print(data)
print(data[0::2])

Thanks Krishna, how do you interpret this code? – user10709107 Nov 27 '18 at 03:17
Slicing takes 3 numbers `Start:End:Step`. When `End` is not specified, it iterates until the end of the list. – Krishna Nov 27 '18 at 03:19
