To get the first character of a string in Python, you can access the index of that character using the square brackets [] notation.
In Python, all characters in a string are assigned an index number starting from 0 for the first character and incremented by 1 for each subsequent character.
To get the first character, add [0] after the string name as follows:
my_string = "Genius"
print(my_string[0]) # G
print(my_string[1]) # e
print(my_string[2]) # n
print(my_string[3]) # i
print(my_string[4]) # u
print(my_string[5]) # s
You can access any individual character in a string by using its index number. The string index in Python starts from 0.
To get the first character in a string, access the string with [0] notation.
