This aids readability and implements abstraction. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To slice an iterable, we use the slicing operator, that is [ ]. To separate the start, stop, and step values, we use the colon ( : ). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Say you want to declare a list with the values 1,2,3,4,5, and only want to see values 2,3, and 4. You can slice the list for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why use slicing in Python?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clean code:<\/strong> To search a part of a list, you don&#8217;t need to write code in a loop. It makes the code short and easy to read.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast coding:<\/strong> Python is made to handle slicing quickly, which makes the data run faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; list=[1,2,3,4,5]\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; list[1:4]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">[2, 3, 4]<\/div>\n<h3>The Python Slice() Function<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The slice() is a constructor that creates a Python Slice object to represent the set of indices that range(start, stop, step) specifies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this, we can slice a sequence like a string, a tuple, a list, a range object, or a bytes object. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are all objects that support sequence protocols and implement __getitem__() and __len__(). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The slice() function returns a Python Slice Object.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Syntax of Slice in Python<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s talk about the syntax of Slicing in Python first:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">slice(stop)<\/pre>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">slice(start, stop, step)<\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are these parameters? Let\u2019s see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>start-<\/strong> Where to begin slicing (Optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>stop-<\/strong> Where to stop slicing+1<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>step-<\/strong> How much to increment between each index (Optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll see that we have two syntaxes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When we provide only one parameter value, it takes it to be the stop value. This means to start, and the steps are set to None.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Python Slice Example<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s take a simple example of Python Slicing.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; slice(3)<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">slice(None, 3, None)<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can index this as:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; l=[1,2,3,4,5]\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; l[slice(3)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">[1, 2, 3]<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Note that it displays values at the indices 0, 1, and 2. It stops at index 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Python String Slice<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can slice a string in Python using the Python slice() method. We can also specify the interval. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slicing a string may give us a substring when the step size is 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; s='helloworld'\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; s[slice(1,6,2)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">&#8216;elw&#8217;<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>With positive indices-<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like in the previous example, we use positive indices here.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; s='helloworld'\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; s[slice(1,6)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">&#8216;ellow&#8217;<\/div>\n<p><strong>With negative indices-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But like we\u2019ve seen with lists earlier, we can pass negative indices too. These are what it traverses from the right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To read the same value right to left, we do:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; s='helloworld'\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; s[slice(-5,-10,-1)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">&#8216;wolle&#8217;<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confused? Here\u2019s how we traverse right to left:<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26610\" style=\"width: 381px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ayushi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26610\" class=\"wp-image-26610 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ayushi.jpg\" alt=\"Python Slice\" width=\"371\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ayushi.jpg 371w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ayushi-150x71.jpg 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ayushi-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Python String\u00a0Slice<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We index everything from letters to digits and from spaces to characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Python Slicing Tuples<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, let\u2019s take a look at performing Python Slicing on tuples. Check the following code:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Positive Indices-<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; t=(1,2,3,4,5)\r\n&gt;&gt;&gt; t[slice(2,4)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">(3, 4)<\/div>\n<p><strong>Negative Indices-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s traverse right to left.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">&gt;&gt;&gt; t[slice(-1,-5,-2)]<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-output\">(5, 3)<\/div>\n<h3>Indexing to Create Python Slice<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have often sliced lists using [:].
