I don't what I'm doing wrong challenge 3 of 4, but when I run my code in the terminal it works.
def first_4(hello): return hello[0:4]
def first_and_last_4(heyoo): return heyoo[0:4] + heyoo[-4:]
def odds(killers): return killers(0::2)
def first_4(hello):
return hello[0:4]
def first_and_last_4(heyoo):
return heyoo[0:4] + heyoo[-4:]
def odds(killers):
return killers(0::2)

- The
killersslice syntax should use square brackets or braces [ ] not parens - You are returning all of the even indexes. How would you signify the odd indexes? Hint: change which index you start on.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
