Slicing Lab¶
Goal¶
Get the basics of sequence slicing down
Tasks¶
Write some functions that:
- return a sequence with the first and last items exchanged.
- return a sequence with every other item removed
- return a sequence with the first and last 4 items removed, and every other item in between
- return a sequence reversed (just with slicing)
- return a sequence with the middle third, then last third, then the first third in the new order
NOTE: these should work with ANY sequence – but you can use strings to test, if you like.
