# BigCodeBench/23
Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.
Allowed libraries: `numpy`, `itertools`.
```python
import numpy as np
from itertools import zip_longest
def task_func(l1, l2,THRESHOLD = 0.5):
"""
Alternates elements from two numeric lists, calculates the absolute difference of each
element from a predefined threshold, and returns the element closest to this threshold.
Parameters:
l1 (list): The first input list containing numeric values.
l2 (list): The second input list containing numeric values.
THRESHOLD (float): The predefined constant representing a numeric value used as a reference point for comparison. Default to 0.5.
Returns:
float: The element from the combined list that is closest to the threshold of 0.5.
Requirements:
- numpy
- itertools.zip_longest
Notes:
- If l1 and l2 are of different lengths, elements from the longer list without a corresponding
pair in the shorter list will not be paired with 'None'. Only existing numeric elements are considered.
- The threshold is fixed at 0.5. Adjustments to the threshold require changes to the THRESHOLD constant.
Example:
>>> l1 = [0.3, 1, 2, 3]
>>> l2 = [0.7, 11, 12, 13]
>>> closest = task_func(l1, l2)
>>> print(closest)
