I have create first_and_last4 function which return the first and last four item as a single value for my challenge, however when I click on check work it is unable to find the function it says Bummer! Couldn't find first_and_last_4 Below is the code:
def first_and_last_4(itreable):
list1 = iterable[:4]
list1 = list1 + iterable[-4:]
return list1
def first_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4]
def first_and_last_4(itreable):
list1 = iterable[:4]
list1 = list1 + iterable[-4:]
return list1
def first_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4]

This passes:
def first_4(iterable):
return iterable[:4]
def first_and_last_4(iterable):
list1 = iterable[:4]
list1 = list1 + iterable[-4:]
return list1
I hope this helps
Congrats on thinking through the rest of the code
