Function Details: slice

Description

Creates a slice object. Used for extended slicing (e.g. a[start:stop:step]).

Extended Description

The slice() function returns a slice object representing the set of indices specified by range(start, stop, step). It's used for extended slicing of sequences. A slice object can be used with any sequence type (string, list, tuple, etc.) to extract a subset of elements. The slice object itself is immutable.
