# Hints
|
|
|
|
- Make sure you have a good understanding of how to create and update lists.
|
|
- The Python [documentation on `lists`][python lists] can be really helpful.
|
|
- The Python [tutorial section on `lists`][more on lists] is also a good resource.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Add Me to the queue
|
|
|
|
- An `if-else` statement can help you find which ticket type you are dealing with.
|
|
- You can then `append()` the person to the queue based on the ticket type.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Where are my friends
|
|
|
|
- You need to find the `index()` of the friend name from the queue.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Can I please join them?
|
|
|
|
- Since you know the `index()`, you can `insert()` the friend into the queue at that point.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Mean person in the queue
|
|
|
|
- You know the mean persons name, so you can `remove()` them from the queue.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Namefellows
|
|
|
|
- `count()`-ing the occurrences of the `name` in the queue could be a good strategy here.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Remove the last person
|
|
|
|
- Although you could `remove()` the person by name, `pop()`-ing them out might be quicker.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Sort the Queue List
|
|
|
|
- Don't forget that You need to avoid mutating the queue and losing its original order.
|
|
- Once you have a `copy()`, `sort()`-ing should be straightforward.
|
|
- We're looking for an _ascending_ sort, or _alphabetical from a-z_.
