Hi guys, Continuing my Python learning, I came across an exercise which asks me to take a string and reverse it.
I understand that there is a function to do this i.e mytext.reverse() I imagine that the exercise author would rather I did this the hard way however. ;-) Assuming that mytext is "test", I've found that mytext[-1:-4:-1] doesn't work (as I expected it to) but that mytext[::-1] does. While that's fine, I just wondered why mytext[-1:-4:-1] doesn't work? Thanks again, Chris _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
