Using slice and get rid of the middle two numbers

Time:03-04

This time I want to get the following result by using slice. However, I could not manage it. Is there a negative version of List[3:5] in this scenario?

Input:
List=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

Output:
List =[1,2,5,6,7]

CodePudding user response:

First off List[3:5] = [4, 5] so the "negative" version would be [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]. You can produce that with:

List[:3] List[5:]

CodePudding user response:

List[:3] List[5:]

Hopefully that's not the real name of the variable
