Ive gone through previous solutions but why doesnt .extend work? Anything else wrong with my code?

def first_4(iterable):
    iter_list = list(iterable)
    return iter_list[:4]

def last_4(iterable):
    iter_list2 = list(iterable)
    return iter_list2[-4:]

def first_and_last_4(iterable):
    return iter_list.extend(iter_list2)
slices.py
def first_4(iterable):
    iter_list = list(iterable)
    return iter_list[:4]

def last_4(iterable):
    iter_list2 = list(iterable)
    return iter_list2[-4:]

def first_and_last_4(iterable):
    return iter_list.extend(iter_list2)

Within the first_and_last_4 function, it does not have access to neither iter_list nor iter_list2.
