Question

PYTHON

Generate the code for a recursive function: closest (n: int,
1st: list)--> int
The function returns the value of the element in the list that
is closest in value to, but not greater than the target number
n.
The code should work for any list of integers with a length
greater than or equal to 1.
See sample test results below:
Function Call:
Returns:
3
closest (5, [1, 3, 6, 9, 22])
closest (15, [22, 9, 16, 3, 11)
с1osest (5, [-5, 36, 12, 27, б, -14, 19, 27, 34])

-5
с1osest (5, [15, 61, 21, 12, 4, -25, 5, 51, -55])
