+  Exercise 2.2.6.2
+  Implement the flatten method for sequences by using foldLeft.
+
+  The required type signature and a sample test are:
+
+  def flatten[A](xxs: Seq[Seq[A]]): Seq[A] = ???
+
+  scala> flatten(Seq(Seq(1, 2, 3), Seq(), Seq(4)))
+  res0: Seq[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)
+
+  scala> flatten(Seq(Seq("a","b"), Seq(), (Seq("c","<nothing>"))))
+  val res1: Seq[String] = List(a, b, c, <nothing>)
+  */
+
+object Flatten {
+  def flatten[A](xxs: Seq[Seq[A]]): Seq[A] = {
+    var init: Seq[A] = Seq()
+      xxs.foldLeft(init){ (x, y) => y.foreach( k => (init = init :+ k)); init}
+  }
+  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
+
+    val result = flatten(Seq(Seq(1, 2, 3), Seq(), Seq(4)))
