How to slice a string in reverse in Python?-CodePudding

I understand how to normally slice a string and reverse it, but don't get how to do both simultaneously.

Let's say

message="hi there"

And I wanna select only the "there" part and reverse it, so the output will be "ereht".

Is there a way to do it? Preferably using only the "message" variable, but any other ways are ok, too.

CodePudding user response：

You would split the string and then reverse it part you desire

rev = message.split()[-1][::-1]

This solution will also work for the example given in the OP (credit to Kelly Bundy):

rev = message[:-6:-1]

CodePudding user response：

For your specific question, you can use this:

message.split()[-1][::-1]

CodePudding user response：

You just need to select the second slice with [1] and then reverse it using [::-1]

message.split()[1][::-1]
