I'm using python=3.10. While coding I came across a strange behavior.
x = "x"*10
print(x[0:1000])
Which prints "x"*10 with no IndexError which is unexpected. Why is this not an error?

1even more strange for you `x[999:1000]` – Joran Beasley Nov 24 '21 at 01:55

1This can be useful sometimes: `x[0] == "a"` fails if `x` is empty, but `x[:1] == "a"` always succeeds. – kindall Nov 24 '21 at 01:57
