What does print("xy"[5:10]) output?

Console output

Why

Slicing tolerates out-of-range indices by clamping them to the valid range, and when the (clamped) start is at or beyond the end, the result is simply the empty string. So "xy"[5:10] returns "", which print shows as one blank line. No IndexError is raised because this is a slice, not an element access.
