find the kth character in a string in python

To find the kth character in a string in Python, you can use indexing. In Python, strings are indexed starting from 0. Therefore, the index of the first character in the string is 0, the second character is 1, and so on.

Here is a Python code snippet that finds the kth character in a string:

main.py
string = "hello world"
k = 6 # index starts from 0, so 6th character is at index 5
kth_character = string[k]
print(kth_character)
130 chars
5 lines

Output:

main.py
w
2 chars
2 lines

In the above code, the string is assigned to a variable string and the index of the kth character to be found is assigned to a variable k. The kth character is found using the indexing syntax string[k].
