NOTE: This part is independent and doesn’t require PART-1 to be referred compulsorily, but its advisable 🙂
Extended Slicing
Slicing in Python is a mechanism to select a range of items from Sequence types like strings, list, tuple, etc.
Syntax: [stat:end:step]
>>> L = range(10)
>>> L[::2]
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
mylist[::-1] # will reverse a list
# Reverse a string
>>> S = 'Abhilash'
>>> S[::-1]
'haslihbA'
There are many things that we could consider under this subject. My motto is to make you aware with some of the important features, methods and pythonic stuff that you could refer from here and then do more Google for advanced learning. I will just give you a start.
NOTE: I consider you to be a Python developer. If you are just starting with Python, then I guess this post will become confusing for you. You could go through for quick reference on what to read next when you are done with your first Python tutorial.
Python is cool. Its trending and its obviously self-intuitive. Learning curve with python is awesome.
