Add an element to a liste - cyril31 - Apr-11-2020
Hello, I must do the following task: Write a recursive function ajouter(element, set) which returns a set (represented by a list) to which a new element has been added (if it does not already belong to the set). Do not use the keyword "in".
I already started this program but I have a problem for when I have to return the function: I lose the starting set.
def ajouter(element, ensemble):
if ensemble==[]:
ensemble.append(element)
return ensemble
else:
if ensemble[0]==element:
return ensemble
else:
return ajouter(element, ensemble[1:])
element=4
ensemble=[1,2,3]Can you help me please ?Thank you for the answer

Shouldn't you be calling the function, like:
print(ajouter(element, ensemble))Next, how about you store the 'ensemble.append(element)' as another thing?
Last,(I'm not so sure)i don't think so that you should use more than 1 returns in your code
