Hello gurus in the house.. Please any idea on how i can interchange the first and last letters of any word using python?
.
.
E.g
.
'good' = 'doog'
'soup' = 'pous'
'given' = 'niveg'
.
.
Was thinking of using 'slice' - it didn't work. Help me out..
Just give me tips on how to go about it..don't write the program for me please.. Thanks in advance..

x="good"
print(x[-1]+x[1:-1]+x[0])

since strings are lists in python

x[-1] take the last character, minus means "start counting from the last character"
x[1:-1] selects from second character to penultimate inclusive, note that index starts from zero
x[0] is the first character

thanks man, I really appreciate it..
Hope you don't mind answering another question?
Do you have any idea on how I can make PyGTK work on Windows? I've installed it, yet it's not working.(I tried using PyQt, but there is no good book on it).

i've never used gtk,
the debate is usually btw wx and Qt and not gtk

there are billions on Qt tutorials online, especially on youtube

ask away

Retrieve the ist character of the word assign it to a variable. Retrieve the last character and assign it to a variable. Then concatenate the last variable + the word (excluding the ist and last) + the first character
