in you learned how to access single elements in listand in this you've been learning how to work through all the elements in list you can also work with specific group of items in listwhich python calls slice slicing list to make sliceyou specify the index of the first and last elements you want to work with as with the range(functionpython stops one item before the second index you specify to output the first three elements in listyou would request indices through which would return elements and the following example involves list of players on teamplayers py players ['charles''martina''michael''florence''eli' print(players[ : ]the code at prints slice of this listwhich includes just the first three players the output retains the structure of the list and includes the first three players in the list['charles''martina''michael'you can generate any subset of list for exampleif you want the secondthirdand fourth items in listyou would start the slice at index and end at index players ['charles''martina''michael''florence''eli'print(players[ : ]this time the slice starts with 'martinaand ends with 'florence'['martina''michael''florence'if you omit the first index in slicepython automatically starts your slice at the beginning of the listplayers ['charles''martina''michael''florence''eli'print(players[: ]without starting indexpython starts at the beginning of the list['charles''martina''michael''florence'working with lists
