Can someone please explain why the 1st output and how can I fix it?

Question

I want the second output but I need to delete more times from the list, not just once. Can someone please explain why the 1st output and how can I fix it?

# However this works if I want lower numbers (see below), which makes it even weirder

Answer 1

You have to understand what the slice notation actually does.

I have linked the article treating the topic, so that you can study up.

https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/2453/?ref=app

nums[7500:] accesses all the numbers FROM 7500 to the end.

nums[:7500] accesses the numbers TO 7500, from the beginning.

Try to think through your code again like this, I'm sure you will understand the output better.

One more thing:

This forum is meant to become a 'library' for others as well. So it is actually required that you write a proper question with a proper headline and proper tags *here*!
