what did I missed?

slices.py 
def first_4(ite):
    return list(ite)[:4]

def first_and_last_4(ite):
    fir4= ite[:4]
    las4= ite[-4:]
    fin8= fir4 + las4
    return fin8

def odds(ite):
    return list(ite)[1::2]

def reverse_evens(ite):
    reverse_ite= list(ite)[::-1]
    return reverse_ite[1::2]
