Program Plan Intro
List slicing:
- • The process of choosing a range of data items from a list is called as list slicing.
- • In Python, an expression that chooses a sub list from a sequence is called as a slice.
- • A slice is a span of data items that are taken out from a list.
- • Generally, the slice expression has start and end indices as its inputs.
- • If the end index is not given, then the list’s length is taken as the end index.
- • The start and end indices in the list slice expression can also have the negative integers as their values.
- • The negative integers indicate the location that is relative to the end of the list.
Syntax:
In python, the list slice expression with a negative index has the below format.
#Create an expression to slice the list
listname[negative_index:]
or
#Create an expression to slice the list
listname[:negative_index]
