Python | Slicing
As the name suggests, ‘slicing’ is taking parts of sequences like lists, tuples, and strings.
Syntax for slicing is [start : stop : step]
- The start is the starting index from where to slice a list or tuple
- The stop is the ending index.
- The step is the number of steps to jump.
- The default value for start is 0, stop is the number of items, and step is 1.
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
print(numbers[1 : : 2])
#output : [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
