Hello everyone, today we will build an . Email Slicer in Python What is an Email Slicer? An Email Slicer is just a tool which will take an email id as an input and will perform slicing operations on it to return the username and the domain of the email id. For example: Input: rishabh.singh@gmail.com Output: Your username is rishabh.singh & domain is gmail.com Here we returned as username and as a domain. rishabh.singh gmail.com This project is super simple and quick and it doesn't require any setup so let's quickly jump to coding and build this. Let's Code So this first we are going to do is to ask the user to enter the email to be sliced. email = input( ).strip() "Enter Your Email: " Here, as usual, we are making use of the function to get the input from the user in the form of string. We will store this input in the variable. input() email Also notice that we are making use of a function. function will remove any additional & unwanted spacing on both sides of strings. So that we can make sure that we have only the email in the input and not any unwanted spaces. strip() strip() Let's move on to the next step now. username = email[:email.index( )]
domain = email[email.index( ) + :] '@' '@' 1 Here, we are slicing the user input to obtain the username and domain and ignore the rest. Let's see how it works. In case of variable we only want to keep the part of the string which comes before and ignore the rest. username @ Here, we are making use of the slicing operator and function. function searches for the particular element or character within the string and lists it is associated with and return its index number. : index() index() Let's consider the input is , so when we write i, our index() function will interpret it as as our is located at index . Now knows that is located at index , so now it will keep the part before index and discard the rest. rishabh.singh@gmail.com email[:email.index('@')] email[:13] @ 13 email[:13] @ 13 13 This exact same process is followed for the also. domain And now finally, let's print our output. print( ) f"Your username is & domain is " {username} {domain} We are making use of , a new addition to Python 3 which allows us to directly place our variables in the output string. Feel free to make use of or old school or operators if you don't want to use . f-string format() + , f-string Source Code You can find the complete source code of this project here: mindninjaX/Python-Projects-for-Beginners Support Thank you so much for reading!
