Its working in my terminal, but not working here in the system.

def first_and_last_4(list): frist_4 = list[:4] last_4 = list[-4:]

return (first_4 + last_4)

should be working, fine but not sure why it's not working.

Working in my terminal quite fine.

slices.py 
def first_and_last_4(list):
    frist_4 = list[:4]
    last_4 = list[-4:]

    return (first_4 + last_4)

You have a misspelling of first here:

frist_4 = list[:4]

Did you keep your code from task 1 or overwrite it? You need to keep all functions that you write.
