python 高級特性：slice（切片） 靈活指定范圍

在python 官網(wǎng)的解釋：

• class slice(stop)

• class slice(start, stop[, step])

Return a slice object representing the set of indices specified by range(start, stop, step). The start and step arguments default to None. Slice objects have read-only data attributes start, stop and step which merely return the argument values (or their default). They have no other explicit functionality; however they are used by Numerical Python and other third party extensions. Slice objects are also generated when extended indexing syntax is used. For example: a[start:stop:step] or a[start:stop, i]. See itertools.islice() for an alternate version that returns an iterator.

一、普通指定范圍方法

#將數(shù)字填入L

L = []; #list
n = 1;
while n <= 99:  
    L.insert(0, n);
    n = n + 1;
print L;

#take n in head
n = 10
for i in range(n):
    print i, ":", L[i];

二、slice方式

L = []; #list
n = 1;
while n <= 99:  
    L.insert(0, n);
    n = n + 1;

#slice
##follow way:

print "L[0:10]:", L[0:10];  #從第0位開始，第10位結(jié)束
print "L[:10]:", L[:10];     # = L[0:10]
print "L[::2]:", L[::2];       # = L[0:100:2] 逢2出1 
print "L[-2:]", L[-2:];       # 從左往右，倒數(shù)第二位開始
print "L[-2:-1]", L[-2:-1];  # 從左往右，倒數(shù)第二位開始 ,倒數(shù)第一位結(jié)束

print "L[:-90]:", L[:-90];

print '';

string = 'abcdef'
print 'string:%s'%string;
print 'string[:3]:', string[:3];
print 'string[::2]:', string[::2];

可見，slice 比 循環(huán)還要簡潔。
