`-1` is not out of bounds unless the array is empty; negative indices count from the other end: >>> a = list("some array") >>> a ['s', 'o', 'm', 'e', ' ', 'a', 'r', 'r', 'a', 'y'] >>> a[-1] 'y' >>> b = [] >>> b[-1] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IndexError: list index out of range See about halfway down this [1] section; look for "Indices may also be negative".
