2,412 PointsIssue in Python code challenge with Slices
I am working on task 4 in a code challenge and in the workspace, my output looks correct, but the task keeps saying the answers are wrong and I'm not sure why. https://teamtreehouse.com/library/python-collections-2/slices/slice-functions
The task is:
Make a function named reverse_evens that accepts a single iterable as an argument. Return every item in the iterable with an even index...in reverse.
For example, with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] as the input, the function would return [5, 3, 1].
and my function is:
def reverse_evens(item):
rev_evens = item[::-1]
reverse = rev_evens[::2]
return reverse
Any help is appreciated!
