We make a list and then select a few slices of it:
my_list = [3, 5, "green", 5.3, "house", 100, 1]
print(my_list[2:4])
print(my_list[3:-2])
print(my_list[0:1])
print(my_list[-4:-1])
This selects everything from the number 2 index up to, but not including the number 4 index, i.e. the 2 and 3 indexes:
[2:4]
This starts at index 3 and goe as far as index -2 (which is the same as index 5 in this list):
[3:-2]
This starts at the beginning of the list and stops before index 1, giving us a list with just one item:
[0:1]
This starts at index -4 (i.e. index 3) and goes until index -1 (i.e. index 6):
[-4:-1]
