Function len () string task

Question

Write a program that displays the length of the string entered by the user, as well as the first, fifth, and last characters.

a = input(str()) # Например слово Javascript print(len(a), '=Общее количество символов') print(a[0], '=первый', a[4], '=пятый', a[-1], '=последний')

It's all clear.

Remember to consider the case when the length of the string is less than five characters.

 a = input(str()) # Например слово Java print(len(a), '=Общее количество символов') print(a[0], '=первый', a[4], '=пятый', a[-1], '=последний')

IndexError: string index out of range

Solution option design:

 a = input(str()) # Например слово Java strlen = len(a) print(strlen, '=Общее количество символов') if strlen > 5: five_element = a[4] else: five_element = 'Строка короче 5 символов' print(a[0], '=первый', five_element, '=пятый', a[-1], '=последний')

Options? cycle? and you can do without if?

You do not have a cycle, if is not a cycle. You have easier, but you can:

 try print(a[0], a[-1], a[4]) except IndexError: print("Строка короче пяти символов")

Your example will not display the first and last characters if the length is less than 5 characters.
Your example also suggested that it would be nice to handle the case if the string is empty.
