29]``, How do you obtain the last 4 primes?
Answer: primes[-4:]
#. Given the list primes, ``primes = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23,
29]``, What is the output of ``primes[::5]``?
Answer: ``[2, 13]``

output of ``primes[::-1]``?
Answer: [11, 7, 5, 3, 2]

#. Given a list p. Append it's reverse to itself.
Answer::
p = p + reversed(p)
#. Marks is a list containing the roll numbers of students followed by
marks. [This is not a recommended way to hold the marks details,
but the teacher knows only so much Python!] Now she wants to get
the average of the marks. Help her do it.
Answer::
marks = [1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 3, 4, 10, 5, 2]
average = sum(marks[1::2])/len(marks[1::2])
