| Python: Slicing |

Slicing provides a more advanced way of retrieving values from a list. Basic list slicing involves indexing a list with two colon-separated integers. This returns a new list containing all the values in the old list between the indices. 


The best way to learn new things is to take a practical approach of the things you want to learn. Here is a fragment of code that demonstrates the use of the Slicing statement in Python:

Æ’ python command

cars = ('Tesla', 'Porsche', 'Ford', 'BMW', 'Audi')

print(cars[0])
print(cars[-5:-2])
print(cars[1:-1])

output

Tesla
('Tesla', 'Porsche', 'Ford')
('Porsche', 'Ford', 'BMW')
