How to specify return value based on if element is found in list?

You have to recursively step down the list looking at each element. If it has the right key then you return the value otherwise you call yourself recursively to look at the rest of the list. If you reach the end then you know that the element is not there and you return the {error,instance} .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
