Question

def flatten(arr):
resultArr = []
for custItem in arr:
if type(custItem) is list:
resultArr.extend(flatten(custItem))

Answer 1

It's just recursion, the code will check for the type of each element of a given list, and if this type is `list`: the function will call itself to work on this new `list` applying the same rule until it does not extend anymore, so it will just consume every list it founds before jumping to the next element.
