Research direction

Start by locating the part 4, 3. Lists exercise “Addition and removal” and its test, then compare the stated output requirement with the rows expected during VS Code testing. Done means the exercise description and test agree about printing after each operation, including the resulting line count.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In the part 4, lists, the programming exercise named "Addition and removal" has a faulty test. The description of the exercise asks us to print the list after every operation "The list is printed out in the beginning and after each operation", but during the tests performed in VS code, the code doesnt clear the tests as the number of lines (if the list is printed after every action) exceeds the required no. of rows.
example:
x=1
list=[]
while True:
y=x-2
print(f"The list is now {list}")
operation=input("a(d)d, (r)emove or e(x)it:")
if operation=="d":
list.append(x)
x+=1
# print(list) (commented out to match expected output)
elif operation=="r":
if len(list)>0:
list.pop(y)
# print(list) (commented out to match expected output)
x-=1
else:
continue
elif operation=="x":
print("Bye!")
break
