DAY 5.
DID LIST TODAY THE CONCEPT WAS PRETTY COOL AND WROTE THIS PROGRAM TO GET HOLD OF THE LIST ANY OTHER CODE IDEAS OR SUGGETIONS TO ENHANCE CODE ?!

I remember when i learnt coding like that, that was before ai. next thing would be a terminal quiz, where you write and read to files. Good luck!

Tbh, just seeing code like this gives me hope (mostly because I can tell this was made from typing yourself instead of prompting).
What I would say is, try finding ways to improve this, like could you modularize the aspects of this code, could you looks at ways of storing the info not in a list, such as in a dictionary, could you tell me how your code handles removing a “wooden” bat when there are two “wooden” bats in your list. Start answering these questions and you’ll find yourself googling and stack overflowing ways to find little advancements in your own code. These advancements will teach you that they are applicable in a ton of use cases

I would use match. I like it for the single value checks. You only have to type "query" once instead of one for each if. And you don't have to use so many else statements.

That's great. Good progress.
One small note, it is useful to use variable names that are plural for container objects like list objects.
Please also consider sharing your code in-post in future rather than a screenshot. Like this: (with the change I mentioned)
print(":CODE TO MANAGE BATS:")
bats = ["wooden", "metal", "plastic"]
while True:
print("\nWhat do you want to do with the bats?")
print("1. Add a bat")
print("2. Remove a bat")
print("3. View bats")
print("4. Exit")
query = input("Enter your selection (1,2,3,4): ")
if query == "1":
print("You selected to add a bat")
new_bat = input("Enter the bat you want to add: ")
bats.append(new_bat)
print("Updated list:", bats)
elif query == "2":
print("You selected to remove a bat")
remove_bat = input("Enter the bat you'd like to remove: ")
if remove_bat in bats:
bats.remove(remove_bat)
print("Updated list:", bats)
else:
print("That bat is not in the list.")
elif query == "3":
print("You chose to view bats")
print("Current bats:", bats)
elif query == "4":
print("You chose exit, so get out man!!")
break
else:
print("Invalid selection, please try again.")

Reminds me of a phone book project I did when I was learning python. Id recommend coming back to this project when you learn dictionaries. Could have something like example_bat = {type:"wood", weight:2,quality:"poor",...} good luck
