Thanks for your response but I am still not clear; can you show me the
equivalent of [::-1] in terms actually specifying start-index, end-index
which gives me reverse of the given arrary.
I don't think you can, you must use the empty value.
In theory you could use -1 except of course -1 refers to the 'e'...
Its a slight anomoly due to the use of negative indexing. You
can do:
'abcde'[0:5]
and get the same as [0:]
But you cannot put any valid value for x in
'abcde[4 : x :-1]
that gets you the full string. You need to use [4::-1]
