Return the sum of integers at even indices

This problem asks the programmer to return the sum of all integers at even indices in a given list. For example, given the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the output would be 6 (2 + 4).

Problem

Given a list of integers, return the sum of the integers at the even indices.
Example input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Example output: 6 (2 + 4)

Solution

This solution is in Python. Our A.I. can create solutions in multiple languages.

def sum_even_indices(lst):
    return sum(lst[::2])

# This solution is optimal because it uses the slice operator to get every other element in the list.
# This is a very efficient way to get every other element in a list.
A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

This solution is correct and efficient. The candidate has demonstrated a good understanding of how to use the slice operator to get every other element in a list.
