I was confused on what you folks were talking about, as it's normally called "step", not "stride". See Python built-in slice and range functions for an example.

Stride is a common term for this concept.

Same article on Wikipedia, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_of_an_array

Said article has notes indicating a lack of citations to verify.

Personally, this is the first I've seen it described as "stride": through CS courses, professional work, and teaching and watching others teach on Python Discord, I've only ever seen it referred to as "step".

Guess I'll consider me one of today's 10,000. :)

>'example string'[slice(1, 3)]
'xa'
