# flat returns a new list with all sub-list elements concatenated into it recursively up to the specified depth. **Since:** 2.3 ## Parameters - `lt` : The original list. - `depth` : Default to 1. The depth level specifying how deep a nested list should be flattened. ## Examples use vt = [[[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]]; assert( flat([1, 2, [3, 4]]) == [1, 2, 3, 4] ); assert( flat([[1, 2], [3, 4]]) == [1, 2, 3, 4] ); assert( flat([[[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]]) == [[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]] ); assert( flat([[[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]], 2) == [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]] ); assert( flat([[[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]], 3) == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] );
