Need your help!

Let's practice with indexes! Make a new variable named var1 that is either a list or a string. Make sure that var1[5], the item with an index value of 5, is the letter "t".

index.py
varl = "abdagt"
varl[5]

#you will need to make a list, in the name of var1, and have been asked
#to set the letter "t" at index 5
#list starts with 0
#now as per below, var[0] has "a", var[1] has "b", var[2] has "c" and var[5] has "t"

var1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "t"]
