It’s suddenly pop-out on my head which what the one-liner solution for creating alphabet (A-Z) in Python and reversed them. Then, the first thing is using built-in python function like ord() and chr(). Then, I can use list comprehension to make it compact.
Example:
1 | [chr(x) for x in range(ord("a"), ord("z") + 1)] |
This will showing result:
1 | [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’, ‘g’, ‘h’, ‘i’, ‘j’, ‘k’, ‘l’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘o’, ‘p’, ‘q’, ‘r’, ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘u’, ‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’] |
Then, how to reverse? It easy as:
1 | [chr(x) for x in range(ord("a"), ord("z") + 1)][::-1] |
Which give me correct result:
1 | [‘z’, ‘y’, ‘x’, ‘w’, ‘v’, ‘u’, ‘t’, ‘s’, ‘r’, ‘q’, ‘p’, ‘o’, ‘n’, ‘m’, ‘l’, ‘k’, ‘j’, ‘i’, ‘h’, ‘g’, ‘f’, ‘e’, ‘d’, ‘c’, ‘b’, ‘a’] |
