What will the syntax my_list = [10, 8, 6, 4, 2]; new_list = my_list[0:3]; print(new_list) output?

The syntax provided initializes a list called my_list containing the elements [10, 8, 6, 4, 2]. When using slicing to create new_list, the expression my_list[0:3] indicates that we want to extract a portion of my_list, starting from index 0 up to, but not including, index 3.

In Python, lists are indexed starting at 0. Therefore, the elements at each index for my_list are as follows:

• Index 0: 10

• Index 1: 8

• Index 2: 6

• Index 3: 4

• Index 4: 2

By using the slice 0:3, we include the elements at indices 0, 1, and 2, which correspond to the values 10, 8, and 6. Consequently, new_list will contain [10, 8, 6]. When print(new_list) is executed, it outputs the list [10, 8, 6], confirming that the slicing operation has worked as expected.

The choices reflecting this understanding allow for confirming the output as the
