<Callout title="🎯 Project Goals" type="info">
- Apply your knowledge of lists and list methods to build a complete data management application.
- Synthesize all programming concepts: variables, loops, and conditionals.
- Structure a program using a menu-driven `while` loop.
- Create a polished, user-friendly, and well-documented final program.

## Major Assessment: "List Manager" Project (12%)
This is your final major programming project before the culminating ISP. You will create a complete, menu-driven application that allows a user to manage a list of items. You have the freedom to choose what kind of list you want to manage.
### Your Task: Choose Your List
Choose **one** of the following ideas, or come up with your own (with approval):
- A To-Do List
- A Shopping List
- A Contact List (managing names)
- A Party Guest List
### Core Requirements
Your program must meet the following criteria:
1. It must use a **list** as its central data structure.
2. It must have a main menu that runs in a **`while` loop**.
3. The menu must include options to: <ul> <li>**View** all items in the list (using a `for` loop).
4. **Add** a new item to the list (using `.append()`).
5. **Remove** an item from the list (using `.remove()` or `del`).
6. **Quit** the program (which stops the `while` loop).
7. The program must be user-friendly, with clear prompts and messages.
8. Your code must be well-commented, including a header with your name and date.

### Structuring Your Code: Reaching for Level 4
There are two ways to approach building this program:
- **Level 3 (Proficient) Approach:** You can build the entire program inside one main `while` loop with a large `if/elif/else` block. As long as it meets all the core requirements, this is a perfectly valid solution.
- **Level 4 (Exemplary) Approach:** To demonstrate a more advanced and professional structure, you can separate the logic for each menu option into its own **function**. This shows that you can synthesize the skills from Unit 4 and is the key to achieving an exemplary mark.
**Example of a function-based structure:**
```python
def show_list(my_list):
"""Prints all items in the list."""
# ... your for loop to print items would go here ...
def add_item(my_list):
"""Asks the user for a new item and appends it."""
# ... your input() and .append() code would go here ...
# --- Main Program Loop ---
# ... your while loop would call these functions ...
```
