如何从字符串中删除前 2 个字符 - python

Question

The problem

There are so many ways to strip characters from a string but I need an answer that equates for me not knowing the variable.

for example lets say I want to strip the first two characters of a string:

stringtostrip = "h mario"

How can I strip h and the space before mario without using h or in the answer? What I mean by that is that this is just an example - In reality, the variable will be the user input and I don't know what the first two characters will be, I just need them stripped. (If that makes any sense)

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

new_variable = stringtostrip[2:]

This will start from the character at index position 2 (ie without the first two characters) and doesn't need you to know what those first 2 characters are.
