Hi, I found a problem with this address
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#strings

In here
>>> word[0:2]  # characters from position 0 (included) to 2 (excluded)
'Py'
>>> word[2:5]  # characters from position 2 (included) to 5 (excluded)
'tho'

In the second example word[2:5] becomes 'hto'

Closing this as not a bug since the example seems to be correct. Feel free to reopen with more details if needed.

I agree with xtreak. I guess you probably misspelled the initial word:

>>> 'Python'[2:5]  # same as the tutorial
'tho'

>>> 'Pyhton'[2:5]  # misspelling
'hto'
