Python 3 for Beginners: Slices

The video tutorial explains list slicing in Python, covering how to specify indices to extract parts of a list. It demonstrates basic slicing, omitting indices, and using negative indices for advanced slicing. The tutorial also shows how slicing applies to strings, treating them as lists of characters.

What happens if you omit the first index in a list slice?

• The slice will start from the last item.

• The slice will start from the first item.

• The slice will be empty.

• The slice will include all items.

How many items are included in the slice animals[1:4]?

• Two items

• Three items

• Four items

• Five items

Which of the following slices will extract the last two items from a list?

• list[-2:]

• list[2:]

• list[4:6]

• list[:2]

What does the slice animals[4:6] represent?

• Items at index 3 and 4

• Items at index 4 and 5

• The last two items in the list

• The first two items in the list

How can you think of a string in terms of slicing?

• As a single character

• As a list of words

• As a list of sentences

• As a list of characters
