You've omitted the first number in the slice: python uses a sensible
default for it
I'm really confused about results of slices with negative strides. For
example
>>mystr = 'my string'
I would have then thought of the contents of mystr as:
indices0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
contentm y s t r i n g
with mystr[:3] = 'my '
Can someone explain to me how mystr[:3:-1] = 'gnirt'?
