BetaHere, we specify a start of index 2, no end, and a step of -1. Slicing here will start from index 2 which is 3. The negative steps mean the next value in the slice will be at an index smaller than the previous index by 1. This means 2 - 1 which is 1 so the value at this index, which is 2 will be added to the slice.

BetaModulo operator (%) in Python gives the remainder when one number is divided by another. Python allows both integers and floats as operands, unlike some other languages. It follows the Euclidean division rule, meaning the remainder always has the same sign as the divisor. It is used in finding even/odd numbers, cyclic patterns, and leap year ...

BetaThat evaluates to 1, which is truthy. At that point, Python stops the evaluation because it already knows that the entire expression is truthy. Consequently, Python returns 1 as the value of the expression and never evaluates the remaining operands, f(2) and f(3). You can confirm from the output that the f(2) and f(3) calls don’t occur.
