Question 14: Find the output of the following program:

(A) [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’]
(B) [ ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’]
(C) [ ]
(D) [‘a’, ‘b’]


Answer: (C)

Explanation: As one would expect, attempting to access a member of a list using an index that exceeds the number of members (e.g., attempting to access list[10] in the list above) results in an IndexError. However, attempting to access a slice of a list at a starting index that exceeds the number of members in the list will not result in an IndexError and will simply return an empty list.
