[hktalent]

@ehsandeep
python3 code

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d")[2:]
'22_07_18'

If you encounter such a situation when processing some specific payloads, please also support
substr(2,-1) == python3 xxx[2:]

thanks

@hktalent please dm me on discord (pd-team)? as we might need some more information for this.

Method signature: substr(content string, startIndex int, optionalEndIndex int)
When the optionalEndIndex is not provided, it means until the end of the string.

Examples:
substr("xxtest", 2) == "test"
substr("testxx", 0, -2) == "test"
substr("xxtestxx", 2, -2) == substr("xxtestxx", 2, 6) == "test"
substr("testxx", -2) == substr("testxx", 4) == "xx"

Re-opening it, because it's not yet implemented. I was just detailing the requirements.

@forgedhallpass Need me to contribute? I'm just worried that my code can't meet your quality requirements
