All of this works in my IDE but then it always says that the previous step isn't working once I solve the next step...can someone please help? :/
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 next_problem(iterable):
return iterable[len(iterable) - 1::-2]

You are complicating things too much, there is no need to know the len of the iterable, all you need to do is to return a reverse list of all the even indexes. So do the slice and then reverse it using [::-1]as below:
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[::2][::-1]
I hope that helps
Kevin
