List slice from _nth_ to last element

Question

This is what I have so far.

print(listTest[3: ])

I am just unsure what to put on the other side of the semicolon. -1 gives me one less index then the answer. So I am asking how to get the true end of the list.

If you Google the phrase "Python list slicing", you’ll find tutorials that can explain it much better than we can in an answer here. — Prune, Oct 22 '18 at 21:48

listTest[3:]

Not having anything after the : means until the end of the list.

You can either put length of the array

listTest[3:len(listTest)]

OR

Leave it empty

listTest[3:]
