Accessing a set of elements within a list

It is possible to access elements between specified indices. For example, it is possible to retrieve all elements between indices 2 and 4:

    >>> random_list[2:5]
    [5, 7, 5]

The first six elements of a list could be accessed as follows:

    >>> random_list[:6]
    [4, 6, 5, 7, 5, 2]

The elements of a list could be printed in the reverse order as follows:

    >>> random_list[::-1]
    [8, 7, 5, 2, 2, 5, 7, 5, 6, 4]

Every second element in the list could be fetched as follows:

    >>> random_list[::2]
    [4, 5, 5, 2, 7]

It is also possible to fetch every second element after the second element after skipping the first two elements:

    >>> random_list[2::2]
    [5, 5, 2, 7]
