A simple introduction / practice exercise to learn a little about Python lists.

star_trek_captains.py

import os
os.system("clear")
print("""
 __         ___      
(_ |_ _  _   | _ _|  
__)|_(_||    || (-|( 
                     
""")

# 1) Create a list called captains and add the following names to it:
# Archer, Kirk, Decker, Kirk, Picard, Janeway
# print the list
print("1)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 2) Add Sisko to the end of the list
# print the list
print("\n2)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 3) Insert Garrett after Kirk and before Picard
# print the list
print("\n3)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 4) Remove Decker from the list
# print the list
print("\n4)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 5) print how many captains are on the list - count Kirk twice.
print("\n5)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 6) Ask the user for the name of a captain.
# If the captain is on the list print "NAME is on the list."
# If not, print"NAME is not on the list."
print("\n6)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 7) print how many times Kirk is on the list.
print("\n7)")


delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 8) print the index of Picard on the list
print("\n8)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 9) Sort the list in alphabetical order
# print the list
print("\n9)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

# 10) print the names one by one on a separate line like so:
# NAME is a Star Trek captain.
print("\n10)")



delay = input("Please press enter to continue. > ")

Not sure if this is a pace for raves--but: this is a great exercise, with so many string methods on one Star Ship!
