I have never used Python, but this seems to be a nice feature.

Question: wouldn't "ssn[7:11]" and "ssn[7:]" give "-1234" (including the hyphen)?

Python is 0 based so ssn[7] is '4'. ssn[7:] is '4567'

Thank you, I understand now. That would make the other viable option ssn[7:10], correct?

ssn[7:10] gives you '456'
