Retrieve a range of values from list

Question

I'm wondering if I have a list of the list like this:

a = [[43,76],[8,3],[22,80],[71,9]]

If I want to retrieve the second value in the last 3 sub-lists, i.e the second value from index 1 to 3 would be like that:

a[1:3][1]:

3
80
9

Answer 1

My 2c:

[x[1] for x in a[-3:]]

---

[3, 80, 9]
