2.      This question asks you about something you have not learned. In fact, the question is asking about details that go beyond what you will learn in this course. However, wondering what is going on at a lower level of abstraction – and talking about it – can be a useful strategy when learning about computing.

Describe what you think occurs in memory when the following code is executed.

one and another

In []: a = 'one string'

In []: b = 'another'

In []: c = a[:3] + ' and ' + b

In []: print(c[6:10])

When this code is executed it will print 'd an' because of slicing. Slicing is when it takes a specific area of a desired string, and you can combine different strings to get a result.
