The Complete Python Course - Slicing to Access Substrings

The video tutorial explains how to access substrings using slicing in programming. It begins with an introduction to slicing, followed by a practical example where the instructor extracts their name from a string. The syntax for slicing, which involves using square brackets and specifying start and end indices, is explained. The instructor then runs the code to demonstrate the slicing process, showing the output. The tutorial concludes with additional tips on using slicing effectively.
