Hey all,
I’m trying to figure out how to extract the last four characters of any given string.
For example:
“John Smith” --> returns: “mith”
“234-567-8977” --> returns: “8977”
I have tried using slice(), but in this case the length of the string is not fixed.
Please help. Thanks so much

@Mithaq_Abd_Mutalib hey welcome! You will want to use the left()
and right()
functions for taking the last x
characters off of a string. For example:
right("Welcome to Coda",4)
= “Coda”
left("Welcome to Coda",4)
= “Welc”
