Slicing oprations a Python list

Overview:

Slicing operations on a list using a begin index and end index returns list slices containing shallow copies of list elements.

# A list of things as seen from the window
view = ["sky", "cloud", "rain", "rainbow", "sun", "aircraft", "trees"]

print("List elements:");
print(view);

# Take few elements from the middle
slice = view[2:4]
print(slice)

# Take few elements from the last
slice = view[5:7]
print(slice)

# Take few elements from the beginning
slice = view[0:2]
print(slice)

# Extract few elements from the beginning
slice = view[-6:-3]
print(slice)

List elements:

['sky', 'cloud', 'rain', 'rainbow', 'sun', 'aircraft', 'trees']

['rain', 'rainbow']

['aircraft', 'trees']

['sky', 'cloud']

['cloud', 'rain', 'rainbow']
