Question

Problem 2

Write a function (call it by your first name e.g. abc_trim) that takes a list as argument , modifies it by removing the first and last two elements, and returns the new modified list e.g. if we call the function as katline_trim([1,4,6,8,11, 15]), we should get [4,6,8]. (Hint: Look at how we refer to list elements by their index and also how we use a negative number as index. You can also use a loop with the len() method

NB: Include python code, please. use spider

Typed Code:

# Creating a function named abc_trim
# with input parameter a List
def abc_trim(List):
# removing the first element
# using index 0 points to the first element
List.pop(0)
# removing the second last element
# using negative index -2 points to the second last element
List.pop(-2)
# removing the last element
# using negative index -1 points to the last element
List.pop(-1)
# returning the trimmed List
return List

# A List of integers
List = [1,4,6,8,11, 15]
# calling function and printing the returned List
print("Trimmed List:",abc_trim(List))
#code ended here
