How to repeat a string with spaces in python 3.9-CodePudding

How to repeat a string with spaces? This is my code:

a=input("enter a word:")
b=int(input("start position:"))
c=int(input("end position:"))
d=int(input("number of repetitions:"))
x=a[b:c]
print(x*d)

If I enter : a= Door, b=1, c=3, d=2 =>

The output is:

oooo

But I would like the output to have space between repetitions:

oo oo

What is missing?

CodePudding user response：

Here the item x is repeated d times in a list which is then printed with a space as the separator:

a=input("enter a word:")
b=int(input("start position:"))
c=int(input("end position:"))
d=int(input("number of repetitions:"))
x=a[b:c]
print(*[x]*d, sep=" ")

CodePudding user response：

list slicing work like list[start:end:step] where start is the starting index of list and is inclusive, end is last index 1 index till list will go as end is exclusive not include, step is next index value then start one difference

so you need to use x=a[b:c 1], to make your code work
