Negative indexing usually starts where the array ends which is suppoted by python
Negative Index is starting/reading an array inrevrese, from finish to start.
In python the negitive number is used to start slicing from the end for example
favorite_food = ['rice',chicken','bread']
print(favorite_food[-1])
the result will be : bread .
Positive Indexing
...
[0,1,2,3,...,a,b,c]
...-3-2-1
Negative Indexing
It is basically accessing index values in reverse order.
for eg: A list stores 5 integers then basically we access it with positive index i.e; list[1] or list[2] etc.
but if we aim to access numbers from back of list then we do it as i.e; list[-1] will give the last element of the list.
Negative indexing works same like general indexing the main difference is it starts from behind/end.
[0,1,2] General
[-2,-1,0] negative index
Thank You
n Python, a negative index lets you access elements from the end of a sequence. For example, -1 gives the last element, -2 the second-last, and so on. This is useful for quickly referencing elements from the sequence's end.
