def merge$\_($l$)$ists $(11,12)$:

$[10$ points$]$

Description: This function takes two lists as inputs $11$ and $12.$ This function needs to merge the contents of

these two lists and generate a single list. The way it works is by reading one element from $11$ and concatenating it

with the corresponding element in $12.$ However, if any of the corresponding elements in the lists contain a value

that cannot be used in concatenation, the program should handle it by ignoring that pair and proceeding with the

next items in the lists. The lengths of the two lists may differ. In such cases, instead of throwing an error your

function should return the concatenated list formed so far.

Parameters: $11$ and $12$ are lists containing any type of values.

Return value: A concatenated list contains information from both $11$ and $12.$

Examples:

merge$\_($l$)$ists$([\text{'}$John$\text{'},$ 'Mike'

'Doe', 'Smith'$])->[\text{'}$John Doe', 'Mike Smith'$]$

merge$\_($l$)$ists$([\text{'}$John$\text{'},$ 'Rose', $3,$ 'Jane'

$2,$ 'Smith', 'Mason'$])->[\text{'}$Rose Smith'$]$

merge$\_($l$)$ists$([\text{'}$Mike$\text{'}],[\text{'}$Smith$\text{'},$ 'Brown'$])->[\text{'}$Mike Smith'$]$
