Sort by:

the index (between the [ ]) had three parts: first number stands for the startindex, here it is 7, which corresponds to test[7]=49. second number stands for end index, it is test[5]=25. third number is the stepsize of the range: -1 means reversed. So test[7:5:-1] = [49,36]. remark: Python works with zero based indexing. remark: the end index is never included.
