- It provides two overloaded slice functions there the first takes a single argument while the second function takes three arguments and returns a slice object.
- This slice object can be used to get a subsection of the collection.
- Start parameter is used to starting index where the slicing of object starts.
- Stop parameter is used to ending index where the slicing of objects stops.
- Step parameter is an optional argument that determines the increment between each index for slicing.
