Hi All,
I have a list of varying length. Would someone know the way to get the last
two values for this? I can see how this is done with a list that I know the
length of, but not one thats generated by user input.
Thanks for any help

Use negative index values to count backwards from the end of a list or
tuple.
x = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
x[-1] gives 4
x[-2] gives 3
x[-2:] gives [3,4] <- this is called "slice" notation
You will find *many* more interesting and fun facts in the Python Tutorial.

mylist[-2:]
Skip
Thankyou all for your help. Exactly what I needed : )
A negative index counts from the end, so:
l = [0,1,2,3,4]
l[-1] == 4
this works for slices too:
l[-2:] == [3,4]

M,
Note this, maybe, unexpected behavior: list=[1]
list[-2:]
[1]
list = []
list[-2:0]
[]

Again, thanks Wes, I appreciate it.
