Question
All of the following expressions produce the same result except one. Which one?
s = 'madam'
S[::-1][::-5]
S[::5]
S[::-5]
None
Solution
The expression that produces a different result is S[::5]
.
Here's why:
S[::-1]
reverses the string 'madam' to 'madam'.S[::-1][::-5]
also gives 'madam' because it first reverses the string and then takes every 5th character from the reversed string. Since 'madam' has less than 5 characters, it returns the whole string.S[::5]
takes every 5th character from the original string 'madam'. Since 'madam' has less than 5 characters, it returns the first character 'm'.S[::-5]
reverses the string and then takes every 5th character from the reversed string. Since 'madam' has less than 5 characters, it returns the first character from the reversed string, which is 'm'.
So, S[::5]
is the expression that produces a different result.
