Hi Robert, I didn't succeed in reversing a string with the "full form" you proposed: live[len(live)-1:-1:-1] # where live="live" The result is an empty string. To reverse "live" (in a "full form"), I have to put a char in front of the string and...: ('x'+live)[len(live)+1:0:-1] # --> "evil" Is it due to the Python's version (I still have 2.3.4)? Bye.
