        >>> ar = range(100, 110)

        >>> ar

        [100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109]

        >>> ar[4]   # the fifth element


        >>> ar[:5]  # first five elements

        [100, 101, 102, 103, 104]

        >>> ar[5:]  # from element #5 onwards

        [105, 106, 107, 108, 109]

        >>> ar[-3:]  # from the third-last onwards

        [107, 108, 109]

        >>> ar[4:6]  # from element #4 (incl) to element #6 (excl)

        [104, 105]

        >>> ar[:-4]  # from beginning to the #4 last element (excl).

        [100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105]

        >>> ar[1:8:2] # every second element from #1 (incl) to #8 (excl)

        [101, 103, 105, 107]
