1,520 PointsTrying "reverse_evens" in workspaces returns correct results, but here I can't pass the quiz.
Code:
def reverse_evens(thing): return thing[::-1][::2]
def first_4(thing):
return thing[:4]
def first_and_last_4(thing):
return thing[:4] + thing[len(thing)-4:]
def odds(thing):
return thing[1::2]
def reverse_evens(thing):
return thing[::-1][::2]

You have the right idea but you have the slices in the wrong order.
You have to get the even indexes first and then reverse that slice.
