Write a function to get the first element(s) of a sequence. Passing a parameter n (default=1) will return the first n element(s) of the sequence. If n == 0 return an empty sequence [] Examples arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] first(arr) # --> ['a'] first(arr, 2) # --> ['a', 'b'] first(arr, 3) # --> ['a', 'b', 'c'] first(arr, 0) # --> []
def first(seq, n=1): if n == 0: return [] else: return seq[:n]
