Welcome to Chapter 5: Lists! 📝

💡 Think of it like this: A list is like a shopping list — it's an ordered collection of items. You can add items, remove items, change items, and look at specific items by their position.

# Creating a list
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

# Accessing items (index starts at 0!)
print(fruits[0])   # apple
print(fruits[1])   # banana
print(fruits[-1])  # cherry (last item)

Common list operations:

.append(item) — Add an item to the end
.remove(item) — Remove a specific item
.pop() — Remove and return the last item
.sort() — Sort the list in order
len(list) — Get how many items are in the list

grocery = ['milk', 'eggs']
grocery.append('bread')     # ['milk', 'eggs', 'bread']
grocery.remove('eggs')      # ['milk', 'bread']
print(len(grocery))         # 2

📋 Instructions

Create a grocery list with 5 items: ```python grocery = ['eggs', 'milk', 'bread', 'rice', 'butter'] ``` Then print: 1. The entire list 2. The first item 3. The last item 4. The length of the list Expected output: ``` ['eggs', 'milk', 'bread', 'rice', 'butter'] eggs butter 5 ```

Use grocery[-1] or grocery[4] for the last item. Use len(grocery) for the count.

⚠️ Try solving it yourself first — you'll learn more!
