My code:
def first_4(list):
return list[:4]
def first_and_last_4(list):
new_list = list[:4] + list[-4:]
return new_list
def odds(list):
return list[1::2]
def reverse_evens(list):
reversed_list = list[::-1]
new = reversed_list[::2]
return new
The reverse_evens function returns [5,3,1] like it should. However I can't pass this question because it says that the results are wrong..
def first_4(list):
return list[:4]
def first_and_last_4(list):
new_list = list[:4] + list[-4:]
return new_list
def odds(list):
return list[1::2]
def reverse_evens(list):
reversed_list = list[::-1]
new = reversed_list[::2]
return new

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

Marco Koopman
5,290 PointsNope, the indentations are all correct. I really don't know what the problem is here.

5,061 PointsI mean just at the end of the def function make sure you're back over and do an extra - that worked on something else where I knew the code was right - else reach out to support if stumped - best of luck

reverse_evens.Is this question glitched or is my code wrong?
