[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar added the comment:

Given `slice[start:end]`:

What this line is trying to say is that the slice index is inclusive for the start parameter and exclusive for the end parameter.

In mathematical/interval notation this would look like [start, end)

As a quick example look at the word "Python"
Index  012345
Letter Python

If you do word[:2], the result is 'Py', notice how the t is excluded.
