Question

I've taken the Practice Quiz 1 (which doesn't come with solutions), and it'd be great if someone could chekc my answer to one of the questions.

7) Consider the following code:
def f(L):
result = []
for e in L:
if type(e) != list:
result.append(e)
else:
return f(e)
return result

7.2. What does print f([1, [[2, 'a'], ['a','b']], (3, 4)]) print?


My answer is: [2, 'a']. Is that correct? I get a little confused about recursion and how return statements behave.

Also, how do you type code here?

Answer 1

Have I just done what I think I did? *facepalm* I could have...checked it on hm, Python and stuff ^^;;

Sorry guys! My other question still holds, though: how do you write code here?

Answer 2

(```)
code
(```)

remove the parentheses:
```
def f(L):
result = []
for e in L:
if type(e) != list:
result.append(e)
else:
return f(e)
return result
```
