Lists are zero-indexed, i.e., the index of the **1st** element in a `list` is **0**, the index of the **2nd** element is **1**, and so on. This means that a list of **N** elements will have indices from **0** to **N - 1**(not N). Besides that due to list being *mutable*, you are allowed to make changes to the value of a list without affecting the order of positions within the list.
