Indexing and Lists

Introduction

This tutorial is intended to familiarize you with the list datatype and methods.

List methods, functions, and operators

You may find the following methods or functions useful. For a given list a_list:

Method or function	Description
`a_list = [element0, element1, ... elementN]`	Initializes the list with any number of elements
`a_list.append(element)`	Adds the element to the end of the list
`len(a_list)`	Returns the length of the list
`a_list.insert(i, element)`	Inserts the element between position `i` and `i + 1`
`del a_list[i]`	Removes the element at position `i`
`a_list.remove(element)`	Removes the first instance of `element`

Additionally, there are the following list operators:

Operator	Description
`a_list[i]`	Accesses the element at position `i` (read or write, but must exist!)
`a_list == b_list`	Evaluates to `True` if both lists contain the exact same elements
`a_list + b_list`	Concatenates the two lists together
`a_list * N`	Evaluates to a new list with `a_list` elements repeated `N` times
`element in a_list`	Returns `True` if `element` is in the list

Exercises

Design and implement a Python function named get_courses that returns a list of strings containing student courses entered by the user. Your function should behave as suggested by this sample terminal output:
```
Enter the name of a course to add, or press Enter to finish: COMP 1501
Enter the name of a course to add, or press Enter to finish: MATH 1505
Enter the name of a course to add, or press Enter to finish:
2 courses added
```
Note: the number of courses added will not always be 2 - this should be calculated.
Assume that your previous function returns the following list:
```
courses = ["COMP 1501", "Math 1505", "GNED 1401", "GNED 1103", "MKTG 2150",
           "COMP 1502", "COMP 2511", "MGMT 3210", "HRES 2170", "GNED 1101"]
```
You can split lists across multiple lines to enhance readability.

Write a new function that takes your course list as an argument and returns the course with the highest course code. For this example, the return value of your function should be "MGMT 3210".

Hint: you will need the string .split method in addition to casting to an integer to compare course numbers.
