Rotate right by k in Python

Python interview exercise on Lists & Comprehensions, difficulty 2 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example, or cold in Interview mode with the example hidden; the tests run the moment you do.

Write rotate_right(items, k) that returns a new list rotated k places to the right. k may be larger than the list, the list may be empty, and the input must not change.

Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Interview mode hides the example: solve it from memory, without the hint or the solution, and it counts as solved cold. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
