Returns all elements in a list except for the first one.
|
|
|
|
- Use slice notation to return the last element if the list's length is more than `1`.
|
|
- Otherwise, return the whole list.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def tail(lst):
|
|
return lst[1:] if len(lst) > 1 else lst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
tail([1, 2, 3]) # [2, 3]
|
|
tail([1]) # [1]
|
|
```
