Dear all,

Is there a way to give an integer value to j when using a[i:j:-1] so that the 
first element of the array can be included in the slice ?

I would like to use some code like a[i:i-k:-1] to get a slice of length k. 

The numpy documentation seems to suggest that j=-1 should work:

"Assume n is the number of elements in the dimension being sliced. Then, if i 
is not given it defaults to 0 for k > 0 and n for k < 0 . If j is not given it 
defaults to n for k > 0 and -1 for k < 0 . If k is not given it defaults to 1."

But a[i:i-k:-1] is empty if i-k is -1. The workaround is a[i::-1][:k], is there 
something simpler ?

Many thanks in advance, Jerome.
