Hi Stewart,

Please note the question here is to create a new variable by name var_one and the variable can be either list or string.

For example, I am creating a variable named var_one which is the list which contains items :

var_one = ['a', 'b'', 'c', 'd', 'e', 't']

if you want to look for any item from the list, you can refer it as below:

var_one[0] will be 'a', var_one[1] will be 'b', similarly var_one[5] = 't'

Hope this helps.
