TypeError: String Indices Must be Integers

In this post, we will see about TypeError: String Indices Must be Integers in Python.

You can access the characters of string by its index. Each index specifies the position for the character.

For example:
Let’s say you want to print 3rd element of the String 'Java2blog', you can use str1[2].

str1 ="Java2blog"
print(str1[2])

Output:

If you provide string or float value to indices, you will get TypeError: String Indices Must be Integers

For example:

str1 ="Java2blog"
print(str1['2'])

Output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
 in 
      1 str1 ="Java2blog"
----> 2 print(str1['2'])

TypeError: string indices must be integers

To resolve this issue, you need to pass 2 rather than String '2'

You can not pass float also as indices in string.
Let’s see with the help of example.

str1 ="Java2blog"
print(str1[2.14])

Output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
 in 
      1 str1 ="Java2blog"
----> 2 print(str1[2.14])

TypeError: string indices must be integers

To resolve this issue, you need to pass 2 rather than String 2.14.

That’s all about TypeError: String Indices Must be Integers.
