    LISTS

                     In Python, a list is an ordered collection of items that can store multiple values in a single variable.
                     It is a mutable data type, which means its elements can be altered after the list is created. Each
                     element or value is called an item.

                     CREATING A LIST

                     To create  a list,  you  need to  place  all the  elements  separated  by  a comma  inside  a square
                     bracket [ ].

                     The syntax for creating a list is as follows:

                     list_name = [value1, value2, value3, ...]

                      # List of strings: Names of students
                      student_names = ["Anita", "Rahul", "Sneha", "Vikas", "Rohit"]
                      print("Student Names:", student_names)

                      # List of integers: Ages of students
                      student_ages = [15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
                      print("Student Ages:", student_ages)
                      # List of characters: Section initials of students
                      student_sections = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
                      print("Student Sections:", student_sections)
                      # List of floats: Exam scores of students
                      exam_scores = [85.5, 90.2, 78.9, 92.1, 88.6]
                      print("Exam Scores:", exam_scores)

                     The output of the preceding code would be as follows:
                         Output

                      Student Names: ['Anita', 'Rahul', 'Sneha', 'Vikas', 'Rohit']
                      Student Ages: [15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
                      Student Sections: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
                      Exam Scores: [85.5, 90.2, 78.9, 92.1, 88.6]

                     Empty List
                                      If you made a team of heroes and creatures in Python lists, who would you choose and
                                      how would you change it to stay strong in battles?
