If you use the "slice indices represent points between
the elements" mental model, then you don't have an
ending point here, you have one less than the ending
point -- hence it's not surprising that you need to
add 1.
3) You have a starting point and an ending
point: lst[s:e+1].
Again, you don't really have an ending point.
