I know I’m missing something simple here: >>> mystring = abcdefghijk >>> if mystring(len)

  • 0

I know I’m missing something simple here:

>>> mystring = "abcdefghijk"
>>> if mystring(len) > 9:
...     mySlice = mystring[:8]

I just want to slice “mystring” to 8 characters, why I’m getting this error:

Runtime error : ‘str’ object is not
callable

Thanks!

    You have an error in your syntax (you’re trying to call “mystring”).
    This should work:

    >>> mystring = "abcdefghijk"
>>> if len( mystring ) > 9:
...     mySlice = mystring[:8]
