        out.append(hist)
    return [(how, make_op(config))] + out

Output

One reason this function won't work as expected is that it calls itself recursively without a base case. The recursive call `make_op_with_history(config[1])` and `make_op_with_history(arg)` will eventually lead to an `IndexError` when `config` or `arg` is empty, because it tries to access the first element of an empty list.

Query

I asked a question about why some code was incorrect. The answer is "because because the code uses append instead of extend". Does this student answer say that? Giving multiple answers is okay as long as it also says somewhere that the code should replace the append with extend. One reason this function won't work as expected is that it calls itself recursively without a base case. The recursive call `make_op_with_history(config[1])` and `make_op_with_history(arg)` will eventually lead to an `IndexError` when `config` or `arg` is empty, because it tries to access the first element of an empty list. Answer either 'The student passes' or 'The student fails'.

Output

The student fails.
