Not making sense
So I solved this with a solution I found online: def flatlist(array): if array == []: return array if isinstance(array[0], list): return flatlist(array[0]) + flatlist(array[1:]) return array[:1] + flatlist(array[1:])
But I originally had the following code which from my research should have worked, yet it would only append integers and not recursively call the function on a nested list. What am I missing?
def flat_list(array): flat = [] for a in array: if type(a) is list: flat_list(a) else: flat.append(a) return flat
