Slicing in Python
Yeah, our thread says #pythondatatypes, but what we are looking at today is not datatype but one of the python features that is often used to perform operations on datatypes. Hence, making sense of it. That is SLICING
Slicing in Python is a feature that enables accessing parts of sequences like strings, tuples, and lists.
You can also use them to modify or delete the items of mutable sequences such as lists or dictionaries.
Slices can also be applied to third-party objects like NumPy arrays, Pandas series, and data frames.

Slice syntax are: slice(start, stop, step)
Slice() can take three parameters thus :
Start (optional) — Starting integer where the slicing of the object starts. Default to None if not provided.
Stop — Integer until which the slicing takes place. The slicing stops at index stop -1 (last element).
Step (optional) — Integer value which determines the increment between each index for slicing. Defaults to None if not provided.
