Substringing in Python 3.3

[digitaldoughnut]

So i'm fairly new to python and i need to use sub stringing to change a letter in a name, i have a variable called "name" that = "christopher" and i need to change the "p" to an upper case "P". I have already tried to use the "variableName.split" command but that seems to make things very complicated so  does anyone know of a simpler method???

Python calls this "slicing". See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/663171/is-there-a-way-to-substring-a-string-in-python/663175#663175

 

Found like so: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Substringing+in+Python+3.3&ia=qa

perhaps 

 

name = 'christopher'
print(name.replace("p", "P"))

>> christoPher
