This code won't work as is. Please *copy and paste* your code when
asking for help.

Neither of those makes sense based on the code you're showing, so
again, please *copy and paste* the code and output.

I would recommend that you start by iterating over the string itself,
instead of a range. My crystal ball tells me that you're getting
tangled with negative indexing, but without seeing the code each time,
it's impossible to be sure.
