632 PointsChallenge Task 1 of 3: Move the 1 to Position 0 in just One Step
here is my attempt: any suggestions why this does not work will be gratefully appreciated.
the_list = the_list.insert(o,the_list.pop(3))
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list = the_list.insert(0,the_list.pop(3))

7,768 Pointsyou are accomplishing the task, but you do not need to set the_list equal to anything,
simply call the function on the_list and you have effectively altered the_list to the form that the challenge requires
