BetaHere, we specify a start of index 2, no end, and a step of -1. Slicing here will start from index 2 which is 3. The negative steps mean the next value in the slice will be at an index smaller than the previous index by 1. This means 2 - 1 which is 1 so the value at this index, which is 2 will be added to the slice.

BetaThat evaluates to 1, which is truthy. At that point, Python stops the evaluation because it already knows that the entire expression is truthy. Consequently, Python returns 1 as the value of the expression and never evaluates the remaining operands, f(2) and f(3). You can confirm from the output that the f(2) and f(3) calls don’t occur.

BetaIn Python, the syntax `[::-1]` is used to reverse a string. It is known as string slicing with a step value of -1. Let's break down how it works: - The first colon `:` indicates that we want to slice the entire string. - The second colon `:` indicates the step value. - The `-1` as the step value means we want to traverse the string ...

BetaI'm trying to port some Python code to C, but I came across this line and I can't figure out what it means: if message.startswith('<stream:stream'): message = message[:-1] + ' />' I understand that if ' message starts with <stream:stream then something needs to be appended.

BetaWhen writing a program in Python, there's a good chance you will need to add two values and save the resulting value in a variable at some point. ... A = 5 B = 10 A += B>>1 print(A) As you can see, variables A and B are assigned values 5 and 10. Then, the value of B is shifted to the right by one bit. The bit-shifted result is then added to A ...
