**Programming Exercise: Slicing Strings**

**Question:**
What is the output of the following code?

```python
S = "spam and eggs"
print(S[:6])
```

**Options:**
a) a  
b) spam a  
c) spam and  
d) spam  

**Explanation:**

This exercise demonstrates the concept of string slicing in Python. The code snippet uses the slice `S[:6]` to extract a portion of the string stored in `S`. In Python, `S[:6]` means "take the substring of `S` from the beginning up to (but not including) the 6th index."

Given the string `S = "spam and eggs"`, the characters at each index are as follows:
- Index 0: 's'
- Index 1: 'p'
- Index 2: 'a'
- Index 3: 'm'
- Index 4: ' ' (space)
- Index 5: 'a'

Thus, `S[:6]` results in the substring `"spam a"`, which means the correct answer is **b) spam a**.
