Python List Slicing Questions

1. What will be the output of the following code?

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

print(my_list[1:4])

2. Write the slicing expression to extract the first three elements from the list my_list = [10, 20, 30,

40, 50].

3. What will the output be for this code?

my_list = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

print(my_list[:3])

4. Write the slicing expression to get all elements of the list except the last one.

Example: my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

5. Predict the output:

my_list = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

print(my_list[2:])

6. Write the slicing expression to reverse the list my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

7. Predict the output:

my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

print(my_list[-3:-1])

8. What happens if the slicing indices are out of range?

my_list = [1, 2, 3]

print(my_list[1:10])

9. Extract every second element from the list my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
10. Write a slicing expression to extract the last three elements of my_list = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30].

11. Predict the output of the following code:

my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

print(my_list[::2])

12. Extract all elements of the list except the first two using slicing.

Example: my_list = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]

13. What will be the output?

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

print(my_list[-1:-5:-1])

14. Write a slicing expression to extract every third element from the list starting at index 1.

Example: my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

15. Predict the output of this code:

my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60]

print(my_list[-2::-1])

16. How can you extract the middle three elements from a list my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70]?

17. Write a slicing expression to extract a sublist from index 2 to 8 with a step of 2.

Example: my_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

18. Explain what the following slicing expression does:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

sub_list = my_list[::-2]

19. Write a slicing expression to create a copy of the entire list my_list.

20. Predict the output for the code below:


my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

print(my_list[1:4:2])
