For completeness, let's use the rest of the integers also:: 0 1 2 3 4 5 ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ mylist = [ 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 ] ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 ? > But in this model, what should go in the place of "?"? You can use ‘len(mylist)’ for the index at the end of the sequence. There isn't a negative number which will address that position; it isn't needed, because there is already one obvious way :-) -- \ “Without cultural sanction, most or all of our religious | `\ beliefs and rituals would fall into the domain of mental | _o__) disturbance.” —John F.
