What's the difference between these 2 statements?

What's the difference between these 2 statements? If you have a String s=12345 s[len(s)::-1] = 54321 But s[len(s):0:-1] = 5432 Why? What's the difference? What number then can I use as the end of the slice if I were to supply all 3 parameters? Thanks, AT --

Re: What's the difference between these 2 statements?

Peter, I like the way you put it the gap between the last and the last but one character :-). I guess this is a side effect of of python's asymetric slice indexing approach which takes a little getting used to. AT -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
