41,118 PointsOk you've made the appropriate corrections for the second two points on my list above, so it's just the first one that needs fixed. To better explain what I mean by passing a parameter to your function, here is a very basic function which simply returns the parameter with no changes:
def my_function(my_parameter):
return my_parameter
The difference between the above and your function is that you should only return the first 4 elements of your parameter. Does that make sense?

41,118 PointsHere are three hints to get you started:
- your function needs to have a parameter which is an iterable, and you need to return the first four items of that iterable.
- you need to use square brackets rather than parentheses for slicing.
- the slice starting at 0 and ending before 5 is the first 5 elements, not 4.
