## Sample Code
```python
food = ["Sausage", "eggs", "Bacon", "Beans"]
pupils = ["John", "Jill", "Emily", "Satpal"]
scores = [5,3,6,7,9,1,2]
days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday","Saturday"]
# Print all the days
for day in days:
print(day)
#print eggs
print(food[1])
#print Emily, Satpal
print(pupils[2:])
#print Tuesday, Wednesday
print (days[2:4])
#print John, Jill
print(pupils[:2])
#print Friday
print(days[-2])
print(len(days))
print(max(scores))
print(min(scores))
if "John" in pupils:
print("Pupil is present")
else:
print ("Pupil absent")
pupils = pupils + ["Arthur"]
print(pupils)
```
## Exercises
The following questions refer to the sample code. You can type the code into IDLE and run it to help you figure out the answer
1. Look at the print(food\[ 1 \]) line. What does the \[ 1\] do?
2. How would you print the first item in the list?
3. If a python list has seven items, what would number would the seventh item be?
4. Look at the print(pupils\[2:\]) line. What does \[2:\] mean?
5. Look at the print(days\[2:4\])line. What does \[2:4\] mean?
6. Look at the print(days\[-2\]) line. What does \[-2\] mean?
7. What does len do?
8. What do max and min do?
Now write your own modules to do the following
1. Create a list called months, containing the months in the year.
2. Print out all the months, one after the other
3. Use slicing (e.g. days\[2:4}) to print out the spring months: March, April, May
4. Print out the summer months: June, July, August
5. Print out the first and last months of the year
6. Print out the winter months: December, January and February
## Extension: Research
Use a search engine and online manuals to find out how to get Python to do the following
1. Reverse the following list: \["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday","Saturday"\] i.e. print out "Saturday","Friday","Thursday",… etc
2. Remove "eggs" from this list food = \["Sausage", "eggs", "Bacon", "Beans"\]
3. Sort the following list into ascending order scores = \[5,3,6,7,9,1,2\]
4. Insert "Mushrooms" into this list, just after "eggs"
5. Count how many times "blue" appears in this list \["red","blue","blue","blue","red","blue"\]
