Create the following code. Before you run the code, complete all the comments (6
red and 1 green), then check your comments against the output to see if you
were correct. Save as lists_output.py

meals = ['breakfast', 'brunch', 'lunch', 'afternoon snack', 'dinner']


#The length is
print ('The length is', len(meals))

[Link]('hot Chocolate')
#The length is now
print ('The length is now', len(meals))
print ('meals is', meals)

#The index of lunch is


print('Lunch has an index of',[Link]('lunch'))
print(meals)

#The first element after sort is


[Link]()
print('meals sorted is', meals)

#The deleted element is


del meals[1]
print('index 1 deleted leaves', meals)

#The deleted element is


[Link](1)
print('index 1 deleted leaves', meals)

'''
0 is
1 is
2 is
3 is
'''
for i in range(len(meals)):
print(i, 'is', meals[i])

if 'brunch' not in meals:


print('brunch is gone')

Activity 2: days_of_week

Create a new Python program named days_of_week.py that repeatedly asks the
user for the days of the week. Include a function that checks if the user's answer
is a day of the week and that it is not already entered by the user. Give the user 7
attempts and then tell them how many they got right.

Save as days_of_week.py

The code will:

• Ask the user for a day of the week.

• Add the day to the user's list if the function returns True (or yes).

• Stop after 7 questions

The function will

• Check if the answer is already entered, and tell the user

• Check if the answer is not a day of the week, and tell the user.

• Return True (or Yes) if the answer is a day of the week and is not already entered.

Possible Output:
Enter a day of the week: Monday
Sunday has been added to our days of the week.
['Monday']
Enter a day of the week: Tuesday
Monday has been added to our days of the week.
['Monday', 'Tuesday']
Enter a day of the week: Thursday
Tuesday has been added to our days of the week.
['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Thursday']
Enter a day of the week: Friday
Friday has been added to our days of the week.
['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']
Enter a day of the week: Friday
Sorry Friday is already in our list.
Enter a day of the week: March
March is not a day of the week.
Enter a day of the week: Wenday
Wenday is not a day of the week.

You have correctly entered 4 days of the week.


['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']
Well done! You have populated the list.
