🎯 Your mission: Pack for the mission
Make 3 lists:
team with 3 hero names • scores with 3 numbers • inventory with at least 2 gadgets
Print all three.
2) What do I need to know?
A list holds lots of things
A variable holds one thing. A list holds many things, in order!
Lists use square brackets [ ] with commas between items.
Lists can hold strings, numbers, or both. An empty list is just [].
