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.

BetaMost of these operators are self-explanatory, but a few are somewhat tricky. The floor division operator ( //), for example, returns the integer portion of the division between two numbers. The modulo operator ( %) is also uncommon: it returns the remainder of an integer division, i.e. what remains when you divide a number by another.When dividing 11 by 4, the number 4 divides “perfectly ...

BetaIntroduction. Slicing is an important concept in Python that allows us to select specific elements from a list, tuple or string. It is done using the slicing operator [:]. The operator takes two arguments separated by a colon. The first argument specifies the index of the element where the slice starts and the second argument specifies the index of the element where the slice ends.
