Python string slice indices - slice to end of string

You can instead try using:

word[1:]

Or even:

>>> word = "Help"
>>> word[-3:]
'elp'

I found myself needing to specify the end index as an input variable in a function. In that case, you can make end=None. For example:

def slice(val,start=1,stop=None)
    return val[start:stop]

word = "Help"
slice(word)  # output: 'elp'
