Hi All

I am referring to http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/chap08.htm

8.7 List slices
--------------------------------------------
>>> list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
>>> list[1:3]
['b', 'c']  -----> I understood this

 

>>> list[:4]  -->  Does this mean its list[0:4]

   ':' here means --> from the first element to element index 3 # corrected

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']  ----> I didnot understood this

 

>>> list[3:] -->  Does this mean its list[3:0]

   ':' here means --> from element index 3 to the last element

  ['d', 'e', 'f'] ----> I didnot understood this

 

>>> list[:] -->  Does this mean its list[0:0]

   ':' here means --> from the first element to the last element

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] ----> I didnot understood this

 

Please explain me

Thanks in Advance

Kaushal

Hope, this helps
