Now that you know how to use slice ranges, let us offer some help to Chef Tony. He has crates of fruits and vegetables coming in and needs someone to sort them. If the crate has vegetables, they need to be taken out and moved to the “dicing” area, so his helpers can begin dicing them for the restaurant. If you find fruits, though, they need to be brought to the “slicing” area, so his bakers can prepare the fruits for their desserts.

What to Do:

Using slice ranges and the different methods we’ve learned to add items to a list, write some code for each crate to properly separate the fruits and vegetables and add them to the right area.

I’ve created two variables for you to start:

slicing_area = []

dicing_area = []

Once you’ve gone through all of the crates, print out all of the separated fruits and vegetables.
Here are the crates:

crate_1 = ['onions', 'peppers', 'mushrooms', 'apples', 'peaches']
crate_2 = ['lemons', 'limes', 'broccoli', 'cauliflower', 'tangerines']
crate_3 = ['squash', 'potatoes', 'cherries', 'cucumbers', 'carrots']

Note:

Do not add the items to the list manually use what you lent about appending to a list, assignment operator and list slicing.
