Slicing Lists and Strings

You can slice a string exactly like a list! In fact, you can think of strings as lists of characters: each character is a sequential item in the list, starting from index 0.

my_list[:2]
# Grabs the first two items
my_list[3:]
# Grabs the fourth through last items

If your list slice includes the very first or last item in a list (or a string), the index for that item doesn’t have to be included.

Instructions

Assign to dog a slice of animals from index 3 up until but not including index 6.

Assign to frog a slice of animals from index 6 until the end of the string.
