Notes: 1  When s is a string or Unicode string object the in and not in operations act like a substring test. 2  Values of n less than 0 are treated as 0 (which yields an empty sequence of the same type as s). 3  If i or j is negative, the index is relative to the end of sequence s: len(s) + i or len(s) + j is substituted.
