Your earlier example showed [5, 4, 1, 2] as one of the results, which
is not "the last four". But assuming your goal has now changed and
you really have an array (or list) of a few hundred elements, then
you can just use data [-4:] to get them.
But if you're being imprecise and these values are not really in an
array, then follow Peter ' advice and use a deque. Or fake it with a
list, appending to the end and popping from the beginning.
