    • Slice from start, slice to end

    When slicing from the start, or to the end, we can write:
    s = 'hello world!'
print(s[0: 3])         # hel
print(s[10: len(s)])   # d!
    Python provides a more concise way of handling those slices by omitting the initial 0: if the slice should be from the beginning, and omitting the len(s) if the slice should go up until the end.
    s = 'hello world!'
print(s[:3])    # hel
print(s[10:])   # d!

    Challenge

    Given a string, your task is to split it in half and check if those two pieces are equal. If they are equal the program should print Same pieces and Different otherwise.

    abcabc
    Same pieces
    abcab
    Different
