List Slices exercise - [SPOILER]

Hey all, I've been stuck on an exercice, I have the good answers but not in the good format. ### The code ### x = input() elements = x.split() print(elements[-1:]) # Input: 8484 1 88 # output: ['88'] The answer expected is 88 but without [' '] Anyone, know what I'm missing? Thanks

drop the ':' in print(elements[-1:]) so its: print(elements[-1])

lol what your code says is to print a list containing all values from the last value on. So it prints a list with the last value in it. When you call it without the ':' you are referencing the actual value

Yeah I though of that, but didn't think of removing ' : '

You can actually do it in 2 lines of code I found, all you need to do is declare the input: x = input() then print it like this: print(x[-1])
