In this code, a string my_string is defined with the value "hello world".

The second line uses slice notation to select every second character from the substring starting at index 1 and ending at index 8.

The expression my_string[1:8:2] selects the characters with the following indices: 1, 3, 5, and 7, which correspond to "el o" in the string "hello world".

The resulting substring is "el o", which is then printed to the console.
