Hi, I am new to Python, and I believe it's an easy question. I know R and Matlab.
************ >>> x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7] >>> x[0] 1 >>> x[1:5] [2, 3, 4, 5] ************* My question is: what does x[1:5] mean? By Python's convention, the first element of a list is indexed as "0". Doesn't x[1:5] mean a sub-list of x, indexed 1,2,3,4,5? If I am right, it should print [2,3,4,5,6]. Why does it print only [2,3,4,5]? Thanks!!
