It's covered in the tutorial in https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/introduction.html look for the section on slice notation
Could you explain it to me, or where can I find it on line?
If you haven't already, you should work your way through the full tutorial if for no other reason that to be familiar with content others find beginners should be introduced to.
