Please find the error in this code .it is not printing the reverse of list

Question

list=[]
new=input("enter a string : ")
print(new)
list.append(new)
print(list)
print(list[::-1])

Answer 1

This works
print([i[::-1] for i in list])

You can't reverse a "string" like that ,it is a single element in list like 1 ,how can you reverse it?

Answer 2

shijali khare as you can access a string like an array (ie: get the nth char by string[n-1] -- indexes start at zero as for lists), you cab also use the slice notation directly on a string:

inp = input("enter a string: ")
print(inp)
print(inp[::-1])

(quickly edited: I was forgotting the minus sign ;P)
