Newbie Question re "TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int

[Yoriz]

The code shown doesn't produce the error shown

def function_1(x):
    if x < 0:
        return -1000000000
    else:
        return (x ** (1-2)-1)/(1-2)
 
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4,]
 
print([function_1(i) for i in my_list])

Output:
[-0.0, 0.5, 0.6666666666666667, 0.75]

Note: don't over write the built in list and please post the full error trace back when you have an error.
