Program Plan Intro
List slicing:
- • Slicing is a concept of selecting a range of elements from a list.
- • In Python, an expression that selects a subsection of a list is known as a slice.
- • A slice is a span of elements that are taken from a list.
- • Normally, the slice expression has a start index and an end index for slicing.
- • Negative integers can also be used as indexes in the slicing expressions. The negative indexes refer to location relative to the end of the list.
Syntax:
In Python, the list slice statement with a negative index can be expressed as either.
listname[negativeIndex:]
or
listname[:negativeIndex]
Explanation:
In the list slice syntax,
- • As the “start” index or the “end” index is the negative index, Python adds this negative index with the length of the list to get the start or end reference position for slicing.

reverse_number_in_list(number_list:list)-> list
This function will be given a list of numbers your job is to reverse all the numbers in the list and return a list with the reversed numbers. If a number ends with 0 you need to remove all the trailing zeros before reversing the number. An example of reversing numbers with trailing zeros: 10 -> 1, 590 -> 95. None of the numbers in the number_list will be less than 1.
Example:
number_list = [13, 45, 690, 57]
output = [31, 54, 96, 75]
Pyhton code please help, indentation would be greatly appreciated
paython programing question
Write a program that creates a list of N elements (Hint: use append() function), swaps the first and the last element and prints the list on the screen. N should be a dynamic number entered by the user.
Sample output:
How many numbers would you like to enter?: 5
Enter a number: 34
Enter a number: 67
Enter a number: 23
Enter a number: 90
Enter a number: 12
The list is: [12, 67,23, 90, 34]

- Complete the display_coins_list(coins_list) function. This function takes a list (always nine elements in length) as a parameter. The function displays 3 lines in total. An example of the output is as shown below: 123456789 --------- $ $$ $ The first line shows the digits 1 to 9 (as indicated in the example output above). The second line shows a single line of 9 "-" symbols (hyphens). The third line shows the coins list, formatted as in the examples.

Take the number of cards entered by the user and from the deck of cards place those number of cards in the list called hand. Hint: use the pop command to take from the shuffled deck of cards and place into the hand list. Always make sure you have cards left in the deck of cards when creating a hand.arrow_forward
