Understanding Numpy Array Slicing: sliced_array = array[:-b, a:]

In Python's Numpy library, array slicing is a powerful feature. The expression sliced_array = array[:-b, a:] performs a specific kind of slice operation on a 2D array. Let's break down what this expression means:

With sliced_array = array[:-b, a:], you:

• Keep all rows from the start up to the -b-th row from the end, not including that row.
• Keep all columns starting from the a-th column (0-based index) up to the last column.

Essentially, you remove the last b rows and the first a columns from the original array. The remaining elements form the sliced_array.
