I think I am close i just don't know what i am doing wrong
iterable = ['hey', 'I', 'am', 18, 'and', 12, 1, 2, 3, 4]
def first_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4]
def first_and_last_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4] + iterable[-4:]
def odds(iterable):
return iterable[1::2]
def reverse_evens(iterable):
return iterable[::-1] + odds(iterable)

def first_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4]
def first_and_last_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4] + iterable[-4:]
def odds(iterable):
return iterable[1::2]
def reverse_evens(iterable):
slce = iterable[::2]
return slce[::-1]
Hope this helps! Rufus

def reverse_evens(iterable):
odds = iterable[::2]
slice = odds[::-1]
return (slice)
