I have a question on a challenge that asks me this:
You're on fire! Last one and it is, of course, the hardest. 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]. You can do it!
My code that I am using is at the bottom of the page. Is there something wrong with my code?
I have checked it also in the workspace and it gave correct answers.
can someone help me?
Thanks!
def first_4(numbers):
return numbers[:4]
def first_and_last_4(numbers):
return numbers[:4] + numbers[-4:]
def odds(numbers):
return numbers[1::2]
def reverse_evens(numbers):
return numbers[::-2]

Hint: get the odd index members, then reverse it.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!
