Slicing and Dicing Lists:

Python’s slicing feature allows you to extract specific portions of a list. For example, to extract a subset of elements from a list, you can use the slice notation start:stop:step. Here’s an example:

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

subset = my_list[1:4] # Extract elements from index 1 to 3 (exclusive)

print(subset)

Output:

[2, 3, 4]
