# Don't
sliced_gpas = student_gpas = [2:5] # Error
# Do
student_gpas = [2:5] # OK
sliced_gpas = [2:5] # OK
# or
sliced_gpas, student_gpas = [2:5], [2:5] # OK
# or
sliced_gpas = student_gpas == [2:5] # This will assign to sliced_gpas a boolean value

student_gpas[2:5]
When using slice don't use = after the name of the list.
