PYTHON LESSON
List Methods
Methods modify list state.
Remember append/sort mutate in place.
Expecting append to return list.

List Methods is used in many real programs. Right now you are in Data Mastery.
Core idea:
Methods modify list state.
Read the example code on this page. Then write your own short version.
Tip:
Remember append/sort mutate in place.
Watch out for:
Expecting append to return list.
Your challenge:
Sort scores and remove lowest value.
Use the editor in the challenge lab. When your output looks correct and there is no error, press the green button to unlock the next topic.
Example code
Copy this example if it helps. Change it so it matches List Methods.
# Topic: List Methods
def main():
sample = "edit me"
# TODO: apply List Methods concept here
result = sample
print("Result:", result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Challenge
Sort scores and remove lowest value.
Before you can finish: your output should include at least 16 characters; at least 1 non-empty line(s); no crash traceback—fix errors until the program runs cleanly.
Use Run. Read the output. Change your code until the task is done.

The first Run may load Python in your browser (one-time). Later runs are faster.
