Python Math: Reverse a range
Write a Python program to reverse a range.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
#https://gist.github.com/fcicq/ddb746042150b4e959e6
def reversed_range(start, stop=None, step=1):
if stop is None:
return range(start - step, -step, -step)
else:
new_start = stop - ((stop-start-1) % step + 1)
new_end = new_start - (stop-start+step-1) // step * step
if (stop - start) % step == 0 and step < 0: new_start -= step
return range(new_start, new_end, -step)
print(reversed_range(1, 10, 2))
print(reversed_range(1, 5, 1))
Sample Output:
range(9, -1, -2) range(4, 0, -1)
