Reversing an object

You can use slices to very easily reverse a str, list, or tuple (or basically any collection object that implements slicing with the step parameter). Here is an example of reversing a string, although this applies equally to the other types listed above:

s = 'reverse me!'
s[::-1]    # '!em esrever'

Let’s quickly look at the syntax. [::-1] means that the slice should be from the beginning until the end of the string (because start and end are omitted) and a step of -1 means that it should move through the string in reverse.
