Slices in Python
Slices are a selection of elements retrieved by their index, for example from a string or a list. You've seen elements retrieved by index before. Slices work similarly, but they also allow you to select elements in a range by specifying a start and end position. They can also be used to specify a selection step. The syntax for slices is:
string[begin:end:step]
