Is there a way to reference N[-1] without calculating the value of -1?

If you want the index number of the last index the easiest method is:

last_index = len(N) - 1

If you need the element at the last index then just use the negative index:

last_element = N[-1]

If I misunderstood the question please clarify.

Sorry let me clarify.

I have a for loop that counts iterations of natural numbers, so N[set(), set(set()), set(set(set())), ect]

I’m trying to reference the last position in this index without actually calling the value of N[-1]…

N[1] should be == N[set()] at that point.

I feel like this isn't the way to approach whatever problem you are trying to solve, you generally want to be able to use N[-1]. Could you give more details about the entire problem you are solving and not the issue you're having? Perhaps there is a better approach.

I’m not sure I understand the difference between an issue I’m having and the problem I’m solving

I mean I’m trying to calculate N[float(‘inf’)] to equate it to a formula?

What kind of rhetoric are you looking for?
