def first_4(list):
return list[0:4]
def first_and_last_4(list):
return li[:4] + li[-4:len(li):1]

6,005 Pointsyour code is this:
def first_4(list):
return list[0:4]
def first_and_last_4(list):
return list[:4] + list[-4:len(li):1]
when you use len(li) you have to use len(list) not li. And that "1"? at the end is a step, you don't hawe to use it
return list[:4] + list[-4:]
