The slice () function in Python returns a slice object. This object helps you determine how to cut an existing string (be it string, bytes, tuple, list, range) or objects that support string protocols (such as _getitem __ (), __len __ ()).
The syntax of the slice () function in Python:
slice(stop) slice(start, stop, step) The parameters of the slice () function
The slice () function can have up to 3 parameters:
start: An integer specifying the position to start cutting the object. The default is 0.stop: An integer specifying the position where the object ends.step: An integer that specifies the increment between cuts. The default value is 1.
If only one parameter is passed into the slice (), then start and step have no value.
