Failed in test cases

Question

Given a list of numbers, this is how Andy like to slice it:

If the length of the list is even, extract the n elements from the start

If the length of the list is odd, extract n elements from the end

Here, n denoted the half of the length of the given list.

def solve(Andy_list):
n=int(len(Andy_list)/2)
if(len(Andy_list)%2==0):
Andy_list=Andy_list[0:n-1]
else:
Andy_list=Andy_list[n+1:-1]
return Andy_list

Answer 1

Have you tried to print out your created lists? That might give you a hint what's going wrong.

Answer 2

You have to call the function with an actual list, and print out the result.

You should read up a bit on how Python works, the tutorial here wipl quickly get you there!

Answer 3

You can test like this, put it after your code.

# Testing
Andy_list = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

print (solve(Andy_list))

Andy_list = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

print (solve(Andy_list))

Answer 4

Gnana Divya There's no single print statement anywhere in your code so there won't be any output. You need to do as Paul Jacobs told you and use

print(solve(Andy_list))

to get your output.

Answer 5

Yaaw I just tried the above code in code playground....
It doesn't giving any output

Answer 6

I called the function
Like
Andy_list=[1,3,5,7,8]
solve(Andy_list)

Answer 7

But not worked

Answer 8

Make a code file in Code Playground, complete with function, list creation, call and output, then link it here.

Answer 9

I used return statement

Answer 10

sorry but your logic is wrong

def solve(Andy_list):
n = int(len(Andy_list))
if(n%2 == 0):
n = n//2
Andy_list = Andy_list[ :n]
return(Andy_list)
else:
n = (n-1)//2
Andy_list = Andy_list[-n: ]
return(Andy_list)

try executing this you will definitely get the output
