Subject: Re: [Tutor] Python backwards program
I thought you were on me a bit but I am so frustrated at this point. My
instructor wrote and told me it was easy. So if it is easy why am I having so
much trouble. I figured the other three programs by just reading the book and
working on the computer. Does the 2.2 python have the ability to do this?
I think that the program will work with something like this in an expanded form.
The following gives me the last letter of the string.
backwords=raw_input("enter number or string:")
print backwords[-1]
I have looked on a couple of sites and it says to use
s.reverse()
this does not work for some reason
Jim

Hi Jim,
Ok, I screwed up big time today, and I'd better say this in public, so
that people know that I made a huge mistake. I usually make small ones
that can be easily corrected, but I get the feeling I did damage today,
and I wish I could take it back.
Jim, I sincerely apologize about snapping at you like that. I was wrong
to do so, especially since I completely misread your sentence. I thought
you were saying that those were three other problems that you had to do
soon, when you had actually wrote that those were three programs that you
had written already.
But even so, I had no excuse to say things like that. I will try to
better answer your questions, without making such stupid mistakes. And I
hope that folks on the list will forgive me for the bad temper in my last
emails.
Sincerely,
Danny Yoo
