Step 4

Print your list to check that your code has worked. The output should look like
this:

A shopping list program .


Use the two new operators append and remove to create a shopping list program.
Your program should:

● Continue to ask for new items until the user has finished
● Prompt if an item should be removed or added
● If the choice is to remove the item, it should remove it
● If the choice is to add the item, it should append it
● Display the finished list at the end of the program

Here is some example input and output to help you with your design:
