How to properly work with substrings in Swift?
Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in Swift and I can't figure out how to extract a part of a string. In other languages like Python or JavaScript, this is done very simply: `"Hello"[0:4]` or `"Hello".substring(0, 4)`. But in Swift, everything seems complicated.
Here's what I'm trying:
```swift
let text = "Hello, world!"
let sub = text[0...4] // Error: 'subscript' is unavailable
```
Xcode complains and says it's not allowed. Then I tried:
```swift
let start = text.index(text.startIndex, offsetBy: 0)
let end = text.index(text.startIndex, offsetBy: 4)
let range = start...end
let sub = text[range] // I get a Substring, not a String
```
I got some kind of `Substring`, not a regular string. How do I work with it? Why can't I just cut out a part of a string like in other languages? Why is everything so complicated?
