title: Squaring a list, then amending entire thing it into an empty list
body: <p>I'm being asked to square a set list of integers, and cube a set list of integers and floating numbers, then amend each of those lists into two separate empty lists.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using python on jupyter. I'm being limited to the things we've already learned (important point - I've tried using functions we haven't learned yet and the professor would prefer I stay confined to topics we've covered). We've learned to make lists, measure the length of our lists, amend to our lists, and for loops (using rang)e and while loops... the very-basics. </p>
  
  <pre><code>x = [2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18]
  y = [10,8.25,7.5,7,6.5,7,7.5,8.25,10]
  
  # initialize new lists below
  xsquared = []
  
  ycubed = []
  
  # loop(s) to compute x-squared and y-cubed below
  
  for item_X in x:
      item_X **= 2
  
  for item_Y in y:
      item_Y **= 3
  
  # Use .append() to add computed values to lists you initialized
  
  xsquared.append(item_X)
  print(xsquared)
  
  ycubed.append(item_Y)
  print(ycubed)
