tail
Return last N items in a given iterable
I want you to make a function that takes a sequence (like a list, string, or tuple) and a number n and returns the last n elements from the given sequence, as a list.
For example:
>>> tail([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3)
[3, 4, 5]
>>> tail('hello', 2)
['l', 'o']
>>> tail('hello', 0)
[]
