Write a program that takes a string as input and prints the first and last character of the string

 

text = input("Enter a string: ")

if len(text) > 0:

    print("First character:", text[0])  

    print("Last character:", text[-1])  

else:

    print("The string is empty!")

Code Explanation:

Take user input

input("Enter a string: ") → Asks the user to enter a string.

Check if the string is not empty

if len(text) > 0: → Ensures the input is not empty before accessing characters.

Print the first character

text[0] → Index 0 gives the first character of the string.

Print the last character

text[-1] → Index -1 gives the last character of the string.

Handle empty string cases

If the user enters an empty string, the program prints "The string is empty!" instead of throwing an error.
