Find the lowest value within a custom range in an array

Question

I have an array say numbers = [4,4,9,2,3] and I want to to find the lowest value within a custom range.

Range of index 2, I want the lowest value from [4, 4, 9].

so far, I have:

min(range(numbers[2))

so far, what you have looks to be invalid syntax. also, the word you're looking for (a custom range in array) is slicing. — Paritosh Singh, Mar 02 '19 at 15:50

You don't need to use range, arrays already support slicing through subscripts:

min(numbers[:3])
