Python reverse-stride slicing

Question

A specific example of my question is, \"How can I get \'3210\' in this example?\"

>>> foo = \'0123456\'
>>> foo[0:4]
\'0123\'
>>> foo[::-1]
\'6543210\'
>>>          


        

Answer 1

If you're looking for something a little more human-readable than extended slice notation:

>>> foo = '0123456'
>>> ''.join(reversed(foo[0:4]))
'3210'
