How to get a sublist of a list between two words

Question

Starting from a list like this:

words = [\'tree\', \'water\', \'dog\', \'soap\', \'bike\', \'cat\', \'bird\']

I want to get the sublist bet

Answer 1

This can be accomplished with the .index() method of lists, and with the slice notation..

words = ['tree', 'water', 'dog', 'soap', 'cat', 'bird']
start_index = words.index(start_word)
end_index = words.index(end_word)
sublist = words[start_index:end_index+1]
