a_list = [1, 2, 3] a_list = ??? Task: Copy the entire list with a slice.
Maybe I do not understand the question but why is a_list[::] or a_list[0:2:1] or a_list[0::1] incorrect?

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsYou are correct!! a_list[::] and a_list[0::1] should be acceptable.
The other acceptible answer should be a_list[0:3:1]. Using 2 instead of 3 results in [1, 2].
Tagging Craig Dennis to note quiz First Slice needs updating.
