Manipulating lists for fun and profit

You may be familiar with adding individual data elements to a list by using the .append() method. However, if you want to combine a list with another array type (list, set, tuple), you can use the .extend() method on the list.

You can also use the .index() method to find the position of an item in a list. You can then use that position to remove the item with the .pop() method.

In this exercise, you'll practice using all these methods!
