Python Basic - 1: Exercise-93 with Solution
Write a Python program to find the central character(s) of a given string. Return the two middle characters if the length of the string is even. Return the middle character if the length of the string is odd.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def middle_char(txt):
return txt[(len(txt)-1)//2:(len(txt)+2)//2]
text = "Python"
print("Original string: ",text)
print("Middle character(s) of the said string: ",middle_char(text))
text = "PHP"
print("Original string: ",text)
print("Middle character(s) of the said string: ",middle_char(text))
text = "Java"
print("Original string: ",text)
print("Middle character(s) of the said string: ",middle_char(text))
Sample Output:
Original string: Python Middle character(s) of the said string: th Original string: PHP Middle character(s) of the said string: H Original string: Java Middle character(s) of the said string: av
