def reverse_evens(foo): reverse = foo[::-1] evens = [] for idx, val in enumerate(reverse): if (idx % 2) == 0: evens.append(val) else: pass return evens
def first_4(foo):
return foo[:4]
def first_and_last_4(foo):
first = foo[:4]
last = foo[-4:]
return first + last
def odds(foo):
odds=[]
for idx, val in enumerate(foo):
if (idx % 2) == 0:
pass
else:
odds.append(foo[idx])
return odds
def reverse_evens(foo):
reverse = foo[::-1]
evens = []
for idx, val in enumerate(reverse):
if (idx % 2) == 0:
evens.append(val)
else:
pass
return evens

- use the list length to determine which ones to take
- get the even indexed items first and then reverse the order
Either way, this can be done without a loop by using slicing.
