Getting the last characters of a string

Question

So, I have a string, for example:

string = '34567'

I know that string[-1] will return me '7', but how do I get like '567'? Because it doesn't work if I start from the middle:

string[2:-1] == '56'

Usually, since the last number doesn't count, you just add 1 to it, but in this case you can't do it

So how do I print '567'?

it's `string[2:]`, more details in the dupe. – wim Sep 25 '20 at 18:42 — wim, Sep 25 '20 at 18:42

but in this case you can't do it

You can by not providing it.

>>> '34567'[-3:]
'567'

Which basically asks for "the last 3 characters of the string"

To get the last 3 characters of a string you slice this way:

string[-3:]
