What is slicing in python?

Slicing is a feature in python that enables us to get a subset of a sequence like string or list. Slicing is making things smaller by cutting out a piece.

We can slice sequence in two ways:-

  • By using slice() function.

syntax:-

slice(start, stop, step)

e.g.,

a=('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0')
b=slice(0, 4, 1)
print(a[b])
  • By using slicing method.

synatx:-

sequence_name[start: stop:end]

e.g.,

s="PYTHONPOINT"
print(s[0:6:1])

This is about slicing in python.
