Hello

my_list = [1,2,3,'x','y',[1,'a']]

I strongly recommend you browse through this: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html

hope this helps

Although Mark's answer: my_list = [1,2,3,'x','y',[1,'a']] is correct, I personally feel like sending a beginner to the data structures doc from the Python manual is like saying to someone, "You can make scrambled eggs....so now you can totally make a consommé (a very complicated egg dish)." I don't feel like the resource matches the skill level of the student.
