2,761 PointsHow to use the forwards function?
I can't fix the forwards function, even though I know how to do it backwards. How do I do this? Can somebody help me?
Ben
backwards = [
'tac',
'esuoheerT',
'htenneK',
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1],
]
def reverse(iterableitem):
revitem = []
for item in iterableitem[::-1]:
revitem.append(item)
return revitem
forwards = map(reverse, backwards)

Treehouse StaffHey Benjamin Cha 👋
You're very close here! Currently, your reverse function always returns a list, even when the provided value was a string. To fix this you can simply return your iterableitem[::-1]
. This will reverse the provided value and return the same type of value as provided initially 🙂
def reverse(thing):
return thing[::-1]
forwards = map(reverse, backwards)
Hope this helps!
