Python slice() Function

Python slice() function is used to get a slice of elements from the collection of elements. Python provides two overloaded slice functions. The first function takes a single argument while the second function takes three arguments and returns a slice object. This slice object can be used to get a subsection of the collection. For example, if we want to get first two elements from the ten element?s list, here slice can be used. The signature of this function is given below.

Signature

  • slice (stop)
    slice (start, stop[, step])

Parameters

start: Starting index of slicing.

stop: End index of the slice

step: The number of steps to jump.

Return

It returns a slice object.

Let’s see some examples of slice() function to understand it’s functionality.

Python slice() Function Example 1

  • # Python slice() function example
    # Calling function
    result = slice(5) # returns slice object
    result2 = slice(0,5,3) # returns slice object
    # Displaying result
    print(result)
    print(result2)

Output:

  • slice(None, 5, None)
    slice(0, 5, 3)

Python slice() Function Example 2

  • # Python slice() function example
    # Calling function
    str1 = “Javatpoint”
    slic = slice(0,10,3) # returns slice object
    slic2 = slice(-1,0,-3) # returns slice object
    # We can use this slice object to get elements
    str2 = str1[slic]
    str3 = str1[slic2] # returns elements in reverse order
    # Displaying result
    print(str2)
    print(str3)

Output:

  • Jaot
    toa

Python slice() Function Example 3

  • # Python slice() function example
    # Calling function
    tup = (45,68,955,1214,41,558,636,66)
    slic = slice(0,10,3) # returns slice object
    slic2 = slice(-1,0,-3) # returns slice object
    # We can use this slice object to get elements
    str2 = tup[slic]
    str3 = tup[slic2] # returns elements in reverse order
    # Displaying result
    print(str2)
    print(str3)

Output:

  • (45, 1214, 636)
    (66, 41, 68)

Python slice() Function Example 4

  • # Python slice() function example
    # Calling function
    tup = (45,68,955,1214,41,558,636,66)
    slic = slice(0,10,3) # returns slice object
    slic2 = tup[0:10:3] # fetch the same elements
    # We can use this slice object to get elements
    str2 = tup[slic]
    # Displaying result
    print(str2)
    print(slic2)

Output:

  • (45, 1214, 636)
    (45, 1214, 636)

I got my training from Zeblearn in the Python Certification Training, I would like to say that say he is one of the best trainers. He has not even trained me but also motivated me to explore more and the way he executed the project, in the end, was mind-blowing.
