Hi

Apologies if I am being naïve but in https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#lists

Is the “5” in *>>> **# now remove them* *>>> *letters[2:5] = [] *>>> *letters ['a', 'b', 'f', 'g']

deliberate as it only replaces 3 not 4 letters.

I'm unsure what you mean. The 5 seems to be deliberate as the slice syntax is [start:stop:step], so in this case it means 'replace things from 2 to 5' (e.g. indices 2, 3, and 4).
