list splice python code example

Example 1: python slice an array

a[start:stop]  # items start through stop-1
a[start:]      # items start through the rest of the array
a[:stop]       # items from the beginning through stop-1
a[:]           # a copy of the whole array
Example:
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> a[1:4]
[2, 3, 4]

Example 2: python list splicing

a[start:stop]
a[:stop]
a[start:]
a[start:stop:interval]

Example 3: slicing in python list

a = [1,2,3,4,5]
a[m:n] # elements grrater than equal to m and less than n
a[1:3] = [2,3]

Example 4: python list slice sybtax

# [start:stop:step]
# for example ...
l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
l[1:4] # elements from 1 (inclusive) to 4 (exclusive)
l[2:5:2] # elements from 2 (inclusive) to 5 (exclusive) going up by 2

Example 5: python array slice

>>> a[1:4]
[2, 3, 4]
