Question

Consider the statements given below and then choose the correct output from the given options:
L = ['TIC', 'TAC']
print(L[::-1])

• A. ['CIT', 'CAT']
• B. ['TIC', 'TAC']
• C. ['CAT', 'CIT']
• D. ['TAC', 'TIC']

Hint:

In Python, [::-1] reverses the list or string completely.
It does not reverse the individual elements unless specified.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The list L is initialized as ['TIC', 'TAC'].
The slicing notation [::-1] performs a full reversal of the list.
Consequently, applying L[::-1] reverses the order of L's elements.
The initial element 'TIC' will occupy the final position,
and the element 'TAC' will occupy the initial position.
The resultant list is ['TAC', 'TIC'].
Options (A) and (C) incorrectly represent reversed strings, not a reversed list.
Therefore, option (D) is the correct selection.
