The function swap_list_ends in python takes one parameter, L, which is a list. The function then swaps the first and last items in L and returns the object None.  Notice that since L is mutable, the changes the function makes to L are visible back in the calling program. SPECIAL CASE: If the list 'L' is empty, then the function does nothing to L and returns None. For example: Test Result L = [1, 3, 9, 2] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [2, 3, 9, 1] L = ['super', 'awesome', 'excellent'] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) ['excellent', 'awesome', 'super'] L = [True, False] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [False, True]

Question

The function swap_list_ends in python takes one parameter, L, which is a list. The function then swaps the first and last items in L and returns the object None.  Notice that since L is mutable, the changes the function makes to L are visible back in the calling program.

SPECIAL CASE: If the list 'L' is empty, then the function does nothing to L and returns None.

For example:

Test Result
L = [1, 3, 9, 2] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [2, 3, 9, 1]
L = ['super', 'awesome', 'excellent'] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) ['excellent', 'awesome', 'super']
L = [True, False] if not(swap_list_ends(L) is None): print("Error: function should return None") print(L) [False, True]
