Hint:

  • First, get the middle index number by dividing string length by 2.
  • Use string slicing to get the middle three characters starting from the middle index to the next two character

Solution:

  • Get the middle character’s index using x = len(str1) /2.
  • Use string slicing to get the middle three characters starting from the middle index to the next two character str1[middle_index-1:middle_index+2]
def get_middle_three_chars(str1):
    print("Original String is", str1)

    # first get middle index number
    mi = int(len(str1) / 2)

    # use string slicing to get result characters
    res = str1[mi - 1:mi + 2]
    print("Middle three chars are:", res)

get_middle_three_chars("JhonDipPeta")
get_middle_three_chars("JaSonAy")
