List Slicing

List slicing allows you to access a portion of a list by specifying a start index, end index, and optionally a step size.

Basic slicing

myList.py

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(my_list[1:4])

Output

[2, 3, 4]

Step Slicing

myList.py

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(my_list[::2])

Output

[1, 3, 5]

Negative indices

myList.py

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(my_list[-3:-1])

Output

[3, 4]
