        string substring2 = text.Substring(1, 2);  // start from index 1 and has 2 characters length
        string substring3 = text.Substring(1);     // from index 1 to the end of the string

        Console.WriteLine(substring1);  // a
        Console.WriteLine(substring2);  // bc
        Console.WriteLine(substring3);  // bcd
