为什么 slice(10, 50, 2).indices(10) return (10, 10, 2)？

Question

#!/usr/bin/python
# 1.11. Naming a Slice
# Problem: Your program has become an unreadable mess of 
# hardcoded slice indices and you want to clean it up.

record = '....................100          .......513.25   ..........'  
cost = int(record[20:32]) * float(record[40:48])

print (cost)

# name the slices
SHARES = slice(20,32)
PRICE = slice(40,48)

cost = int(record[SHARES]) * float(record[PRICE])
print (cost)


items = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
a = slice(2, 4)

print (items[2:4])
print (items[a])

items[a] = [10,11]
print (items)

del items[a]
print (items)


a = slice(10, 50, 2)
print (a.start, a.stop, a.step)


s = 'HelloWorld'
indice = a.indices(len(s))
print (indice)

for i in range(*a.indices(len(s))):
    print(s[i])

这是 Python Cookbook 第 1.11 章中的示例。

print (indices)

这应该给我 (5,10,2) 但它给了我 (10,10,2)。然后下面的for循环没有打印任何东西。

为什么我的代码显示的结果和书上的不一样？

Answer 1

这其实是书上的错误。如果您检查 errata 并向下滚动到第 19 页，则有这样的描述：

This example "a.indices(len(s))" leads to output that differs from the output as printed in the book, assuming the slice a is the slice a as shown in the example just above. It would work in the way shown, if a were slice(5, 50, 2) or so. Or am I wrong?

Note from the Author or Editor: Change example mid-page to this:
>>> a = slice(5, 50, 2)
>>> a.start
5
>>> a.stop
50
>>> a.step
2
>>>
Problematic example at bottom should then work.

为什么 slice(10, 50, 2).indices(10) return (10, 10, 2)？

Why does slice(10, 50, 2).indices(10) return (10, 10, 2)?
