In this post lab, you will demonstrate your knowledge of strings by writing a simple function to create a copy of a segment of a given string.
Create a function called string_slice(input_string,
start_index, end_index) in a filed
called slicing.py. This function takes a string and two
positive integers as parameters. The function should return a copy
of the characters from input_string between the specified
start and end indicies. Assume that the start index is less than or
equal to the end index. The return value should not include the
character at the end_index. The
function must use a for loop to traverse the input
string and an accumulator to create the return value.
Make sure you have sufficient test cases and that you follow all of the course's coding conventions.
| Function Parameters | Expected Output |
|---|---|
| 'Hello', 0, 2 | 'He' |
| 'Hello', 1, 3 | 'el' |
| 'Hello', 2, 4 | 'll' |
