my question is best has 2 items if counting 0,1,2

is this a trick question, as the counting asks for 3 but python counts from 0?

how many subjects do you need in the first line? and the second line? recap([, bracket and square bracket? string and list?

In your original post best has three items. Each word is an item. 0,1,2 are indexes for items 1,2,3.

I tried the following and it passed:

best=["apple","peach","mango"]
best.extend(["banana","cherry"])
