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!
def first_4(iterable_thing):
return iterable_thing[0:4]
def first_and_last_4(iterable_thing2):
first= iterable_thing2[:4]
last = iterable_thing2[-4:]
return first+last
def odds(iterable_thing):
return iterable_thing[1::2]
def reverse _evens(item):
even_items = item[0::2]
reverse_items = even_items[-1::-1]
return reverse_items

def reverse _evens(item):
