da3b7c3520 Better explanation of list slices
Step size and list slice syntax was not quite clear. 

Upon seeing li[::-1] as it was previously, I was not sure what this really meant so I looked it up and found that this section of the guide may benefit from more explanation.

6f255a5e62 Use consistent example for demonstrating integer vs. float division
I had to do a decent amount of mental math to figure out the old example (11 / 4 => 2).

This one (5 / 2 => 2) is easier, and makes the difference vs. float division (5.0 / 2.0 => 2.5) easier to spot.
