Lists: Accessing Items

• Syntax: list[-index]

  • Indexing from the right starts at -1
  • E.g.
    >>> l = [1, ["2", 4], 3.0]
    >>> l[-1]
    3.0
    >>> l[-3]
    1
    >>> l[-4]
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in ?
    l[-4]
    IndexError: list index out of range
