Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider two lists: A = [3, 6, 9] and B = [2, 7, 8]. Write a Python function that correctly merges these two lists and ensure there are no index errors.
💡 Hint: Make sure to check the limits of each list before appending elements.
How would you diagnose a list index out of range error in a merge function, and what changes would you implement to resolve this?
💡 Hint: Focus on tracking index transitions in the loop to see where your function may be misbehaving.
