How to get the first 2 letters of a string in Python?

python, string

Solution

It is as simple as `string[:2]`. A function can be easily written to do it, if you need.

Even this, is as simple as

def first2(s):
    return s[:2]

Problem

Let's say I have a string ``` str1 = "TN 81 NZ 0025" two = first2(str1) print(two) # -> TN ``` How do I get the first two letters of this string? I need the `first2` function for this.
