Solving a nested list

[daniel7100]

I have to write a function that takes an integer nested list and integer parameters(nl, i). The function has to determine whether i is contained in the nested list nl and return True.
I have made the following code, but I know I am missing something;

def exercise5(nl, i):
   if type(i)==type(1):
      return True
print(exercise5( [[9, 4, 5], [3, 8]], 3))

Could someone help with finalizing the code?

Finalizing is an understatement. Your function returns True if i is an int and None otherwise. This is unrelated to the question.

Yeah, I know that there is a lot to do on the code, but I don't know what to do. Could you help me make it?
