Slice assignment
Slicing helps you to read specific subsequences. Moreover, slice assignments enable you to replace, append, or clear whole subsequences.
In the puzzle, we have a list of customers that are partially replaced by new customers. The puzzle shows how the length of the original sequence may change due to the slice assignment. The slice assignment inserts a list of three customers into the customer list.
A beautiful way to clear the list is:
customers[:] = []
Solution
The correct solution is:
['Marie', 'Anne', 'Barack', 'Olivia', 'Sophia']
