Treehouse TeacherHi there, Tobias! When dealing with slices we use the start, step, and stop. The step is considered to be one unless otherwise specified. If the start is not specified, it's considered to be 0. And if the stop isn't specified, it's considered to be the end. So we could get the entirety of that list by using
a_list[:]
However, I feel the quiz might contain some tricky wording as it says to copy the list. It might very well make a copy of this in memory, but because it's never assigned to anything else we can't really access the results of this.
Hope this helps!
