Create lists with different types
Although it's not really common, a list can also contain a mix of Python types including strings, floats, and booleans.
You're now going to add the room names to your list, so you can easily see both the room name and size together.
Some of the code has been provided for you to get you started. Pay attention here! "bathroom" is a string, while bath is a variable that represents the float 9.50 you specified earlier.

Exercise instructions

areaslist. Build the list so that the list first contains the name of each room as a string and then its area. In other words, add the strings"hallway","kitchen"and"bedroom"at the appropriate locations. - Print
areasagain; is the printout more informative this time?
