Here, there is a list having name "alst" and values "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9". Now in the print statement slicing is of the list is happening. In order to access a range of elements from a list, we need to slice a list. Slicing of list returns a new list from the existing list.

Syntax:

List [ Initial : End : IndexJump ]
