You're familiar with list slicing in Python and know, for example, that:

>>> ages = [12, 14, 63, 72, 55, 24]
>>> ages[2:4]
[63, 72]
>>> ages[2:]
[63, 72, 55, 24]
>>> ages[:3]
[12, 14, 63]

Write a function inverse_slice that takes three arguments: a list items, an integer a and an integer b. The function should return a new list with the slice specified by items[a:b] excluded.

For example:

>>>inverse_slice([12, 14, 63, 72, 55, 24], 2, 4)
[12, 14, 55, 24]

inverse_slice(&[12, 14, 63, 72, 55, 24], 2, 4) == [12, 14, 55, 24]

Input domain:

• items will always be a valid sequence.
• b will always be greater than a.
• a will always be greater than or equal to zero.
• a will always be less than the length of items.
• b may be greater than the length of items.
