The idea was to ask a question that would help the original poster to
answer their own question.  =)

Did you try the same "get the last 4 items" solution that worked 
for a string?

   lst[-4:]

Hello Guys,

 

I'm looking for a function which will give me the last 4 characters of a
given string. I'm sure it's a very simple task but I couldn't find
anything of it.

 

Any ideas?

Try this

>>> s = "abcdefgh"
>>> s[-4:]
'efgh

Use the same technique as you'd use slicing a list.
