Moves the specified amount of elements to the end of the list.
|
|
|
|
Use `lst[offset:]` and `lst[:offset]` to get the two slices of the list and combine them before returning.
|
|
|
|
Explain briefly how the snippet works.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def offset(lst, offset):
|
|
return lst[offset:] + lst[:offset]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
offset([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2) # [3, 4, 5, 1, 2]
|
|
offset([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], -2) # [4, 5, 1, 2, 3]
|
|
```
