Remove All Characters After First Character
<p>Say I have the string:</p>

<pre><code>fame = "John"
lname = "Doe"
</code></pre>

<p>What I want to do is make it so I can take the lname and make it so that everything after the first character is deleted, so I can abbreviate the last name. The output would be:</p>

<pre><code>fullname = "John D."
</code></pre>

<p>I am not experienced with Python, so I can't find anything on this, because I don't know what this is really called.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
