[Tutor] Pycharm Edu Lesson 3, Task 7

[David Wolfe]

Good Evening;

I'm working through Pycharm Edu, and I'm stuck on the following:

phrase = """
It is a really long string
triple-quoted strings are used
to define multi-line strings
"""
first_half = phrase[:len(phrase)//2]
print(first_half)


The instructions are:

The len() function is used to count how many characters a string contains.

Get the first half of the string stored in the variable phrase.
Note: Remember about type conversion.

and my output is:

It is a really long string
triple-quoted st

which is what I'm supposed to get, but I keep getting the error message
"Too short string in the output"

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David
