We'll cover the following...

1.

List slicing with out of bounds indices throws no errors.

Python 3.5
some_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(some_list[111:])

2.

Slicing an iterable does not always create a new object. For example:

Python 3.5
some_str = "ftwpython"
some_list = ['f', 't', 'w', 'p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n']
print(some_list is some_list[:]) # False expected because a new object is created.
print(some_str is some_str[:]) # True because strings are immutable, so making a new object is of not much use.
