without_end_2

Given a string, return a version without both the first and last char of the string. The string may be any length, including 0.

without_end_2("Hello") -> "ell"
without_end_2("abc") -> "b"
without_end_2("ab") -> ""

This exercise was taken from codingbat.com and has been adapted for the Python language. There are many great programming exercises there, but the majority are created for Java.

    pass


result = without_end_2('Hello')
print(result)
