Fifty problems, each with a code editor and real tests. Write your solution, press Check, and see exactly which cases pass. Stuck? Hints reveal one at a time, and the solution unlocks once you have checked at least once. Your code and progress are saved in this browser.

Read the lesson

Write deep_flatten(data) that flattens lists nested to any depth into one flat list.

deep_flatten([1, [2, [3, [4]], 5]])  ->  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
def deep_flatten(data):
pass
Solution unlocks after your first Check

What Check runs

Your code runs first, then each of these lines. The output must match exactly.

RunsExpected output
