As per given task, i cleared the character , then removed the Boolean and removed all the list members using the function del. unable to find what's wrong with the implementation.
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3))
the_list.remove('a')
the_list.remove(False)
del the_list[:]

here's what you should do instead.
the_list.remove([1,2,3])

Version 2:
Your code goes below here
the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3)) the_list.remove('a'); the_list.remove(False) the_list.remove([1,2,3]) the_list.remove(2) the_list.remove(3) the_list.remove(1)
Both the versions has some issue. Unable to point the error.
