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.

BetaThe mean() function from Python’s statistics module is used to calculate the average of a set of numeric values. It adds up all the values in a list and divides the total by the number of elements. For example, if we have a list [2, 4, 6, 8], the mean would be (2 + 4 + 6 + 8) / 4 = 5.0.This function is useful when analyzing data and finding central tendencies.

BetaNow the indexing here and also the step count, support negative numbers. So, if you give a -1 index, it translates to len(a)-1 index. And if you give -x as the step count, then it would step every x'th value from the start index, till the stop index in the reverse direction. For example. a = '1234' print a[3:0:-1] This would return . 432
