Question
## Educational Content: Understanding Python List Operations

### Exercise: Analyze Code Fragments

For each of the following code fragments (each box is a separate code fragment), determine what the program outputs or write "error" if it would crash or has a syntax error that prevents it from running.

---

#### Code Fragment 1:

```python
items = [2, 4, 5, 6]
items.insert(1, 7)
print(items)
```

- **Explanation:** 
  - The list `items` initially contains `[2, 4, 5, 6]`.
  - `items.insert(1, 7)` inserts the number `7` at index `1`.
  - The list becomes `[2, 7, 4, 5, 6]`.
  - The `print(items)` statement outputs: **[2, 7, 4, 5, 6]**.

---

#### Code Fragment 2:

```python
items = [3, 4, 5, 6]
items = items.reverse()
print(items)
items = [3, 4, 5, 6]
items.reverse()
print(items)
```

- **Explanation:** 
  - The first part attempts to assign the result of `items.reverse()` to `items`. However, `reverse()` performs an in-place reversal and returns `None`. So `items` becomes `None`, causing the next line `print(items)` to output: **None**.
  - The second part correctly uses `reverse()` in place, so the list `[3, 4, 5, 6]` becomes `[6, 5, 4, 3]`.
  - The `print(items)` statement outputs: **[6, 5, 4, 3]**.

---

#### Code Fragment 3:

```python
items = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
print(items.index(4))
items.remove(4)
print(items)
```

- **Explanation:** 
  - `print(items.index(4))` finds the index of `4`, which is `2`. It outputs: **2**.
  - `items.remove(4)` removes the first occurrence of `4` from the list.
  - The list becomes `[2, 3, 5, 6]`.
  - The `print(items)` statement
