List Manipulation — Question 7

Question 7

Predict the output:

my_list= [ 'p', 'r', 'o', 'b', 'l' , 'e', 'm']
my_list[2:3] = []
print(my_list)
my_list[2:5] = []
print(my_list)

Answer

Output

['p', 'r', 'b', 'l', 'e', 'm']
['p', 'r', 'm']

Explanation

my_list[2:3] = [] removes element at index 2 of my_list so it becomes ['p', 'r', 'b', 'l', 'e', 'm']. my_list[2:5] removes elements at indexes 2, 3, and 4 so now my_list becomes ['p', 'r', 'm'].
