Printing Out Python Middle Values

Question

How would you print out the middle values in a list, for example if a list is given [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the values 2,3,4 would be printed out.

You want everything except the first and last element? Does `lst[1:-1]` not work? — The Photon, Apr 29 '22 at 00:59
No I would only like values that are in the middle of the list for example Given [1, 1, 1, 0, -1, 11, 4] the returned should be 1,1,0,-1,11 — Linoro, Apr 29 '22 at 01:00
That's still everything except the first and last element, though... How many elements do you want from the middle? The middle 4 elements, the middle 5 elements? — The Photon, Apr 29 '22 at 01:01

You can do this:

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(lst[1:-1])

lst = list(range(1,6))

lst
Out[2]: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

lst[1:-1]
Out[3]: [2, 3, 4]
