how do i retrieve '4'. i know i can do a len(s)-1,
Use -1, which is the same as len(s)-1 but faster.
This illustrates one problem with having a example sequence of values
being identical to the indices of those values.
I would have used 10,20,30,40,50 so there could be no such mix-up.
Hmm, although my observation is valid, that's not the case here, as the
0,1,2,3,4 /are/ the indices! Not the list of values of which they are
trying to access the '4', and which /could/ be obtained with the -1
index some people are talking about, that added to the confusion.
