Question

Here’s the question from a practice exam I’m taking:

Given a list, x, that has at least m elements and a list, y, that has at least n elements, write a function with the heading def addThem(x, y, m, n) that returns an array that has as it’s first m elements the first m elements of x and as it’s next n elements the first n elements of y.

I don’t even know what an array is, let alone how to approach answering this. My final is in the morning and I’m freaking out. Help?

Answer 1

If I don’t misunderstand the question, it’d be

x = [1,2,3,4]
y = [5,6,7,8]

def addThem(x, y, m, n):
  return x[:m]+y[:n]

tell me if I do, I’ll try to fix it.
