<font color="black">The syntax for accessing the elements of a list is the same as for
accessing the characters of a string---the bracket operator. The
expression inside the brackets specifies the index. Remember that the
indices start at 0:
</font><pre><font size="4" color="blue">
&gt;&gt;&gt; print cheeses[0]
Cheddar
</font></pre><font color="black">Unlike strings, lists are mutable because you can change the order 
of items in a list or reassign an item in a list.
