If I were to fill out all three indexes explicitly, what would they be?

To get the same result , you cannot fill out all three, you can put <start> as len(a)-1 , but there is no <stop> index you can put to get the first element. Example - a[len(a)-1::-1] . This is because <stop> index is exclusive, that is the element at that index is not taken in, also -1 means the last element , so there is no index that can be used to include the first element , other than leaving it blank

The conversion from int to string might be a hacky way to remove leading zeros in the reversed string

@xrisk a[-1:-len(a)-1:-1]) , if you really want to check the values for slice method of an array you can use it, hope this will help
