In this program,
t=(1,2,3,4,5,6)
print(t[-1:-4])
Why is the output:
()
and not,
(6,5,4)
This is the case with lists also. I noticed print(t[-4:-1]) doesn’t give the output as () but instead gives (3, 4, 5)
What is going on here? why can’t we go backwards. Please help me I’ve just started python, I have no background in programming!
>Solution :
You have to use a negative step:
>>> t[-1:-4:-1]
(6, 5, 4)
