Python Coding challenge - Day 362| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Step-by-Step Execution:

Importing itertools Module

itertools.islice() is a function used to create an iterator that extracts selected elements from an iterable.

Defining the List data

data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

This is a simple list of numbers from 1 to 5.

Using itertools.islice()

result = itertools.islice(data, 2, 4)

itertools.islice(iterable, start, stop)

It extracts elements from data starting at index 2 (inclusive) and stopping at index 4 (exclusive).

Indices start from 0, so:

Index 0 → 1

Index 1 → 2

Index 2 → 3 (start here)

Index 3 → 4  (include this)

Index 4 → 5  (stop here)

Converting result to a List

print(list(result))

The extracted elements [3, 4] are converted into a list and printed.

Final Output:

[3, 4]
