extract first and last 5 elements from given list and generate a new list.

[Raj_Kumar]

Hi,

Iam very sorry. i have very very basic doubt. i wrote the code and getting error. but i can't understand why error is occurring.

given list: num = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]
Required Output = [2,3,4,5,6,12,13,14,15,16]

for i in range(len(num)+1):
    if i<5:
        k.append(num[i])
    elif  i>len(num)-5:
        k.append(num[i])
    else:
        continue
print(k)

Error is:

Error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-220-bb56973675c6> in <module>
     12         k.append(s[i])
     13     elif  i>len(s)-5:
---> 14         k.append(s[i])
     15     else:
     16         continue

IndexError: list index out of range
