[::1] means: Start at the beginning, end when it ends, walk in steps of 1 (which is the default, so you don't even need to write it). [::-1] means: Start at the end (the minus does that for you), ... In Python, the syntax `[::-1]` is used to reverse a string.

BetaTo get the same result , you cannot fill out all three, you can put <start> as len(a)-1, but there is no <stop> index you can put to get the first element. Example - a[len(a)-1::-1].This is because <stop> index is exclusive, that is the element at that index is not taken in, also -1 means the last element , so there is no index that can be used to include the first element , other than leaving ...

Betas = slice(1, 2, 3) assert s.start == 1 assert s.stop == 2 assert s.step == 3 This is notably used in Numpy to slice multi-dimensional arrays in any direction. Of course, any sane API should use ::3 with the usual "every 3" semantic. The related Ellipsis is covered further at: What does the Ellipsis object do?
