#100890 — please can i get help on this problem

Create a function manipulate_data that does the following
Accepts as the first parameter a string specifying the data structure to be used "list", "set" or "dictionary"
Accepts as the second parameter the data to be manipulated based on the data structure specified e.g [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] for a list data structure
Based off the first parameter

    return the reverse of a list or
    add items `"ANDELA"`, `"TIA"` and `"AFRICA"` to the set and return the resulting set
    return the keys of a dictionary.


here is my work, but i dont know what i ave done wrong:
def manipulate_data(list_data, set_data):
    if list_data == ["apples", "orange", "mangoes"]:
        for set_data in reversed(set_data):
            return set_data
    elif manipulate_data(list_data == {"apples", "orange", "mangoes"}):
        list_data.append("ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA")
        for set_data in list_data:
            return set_data
    if manipulate_data(list_data == {"apples": 23, "oranges": 15, "mangoes": 3, "grapes": 45}):
        return list_data.keys()

Please help us by choosing a descriptive Subject field. The one you've
chosen tells us *nothing* useful.

As it turns out, I can't get anything useful from your message either:

Neither do I. What is confusing you, in particular? Describe what you're
confused by (for example, what behaviour are you seeing, and how is that
different from what you expect?). Summarise that behaviour in a short
phrase and put it in the Subject field.

sir does this make sense:
def manipulate_data(item, fruits):
    if item == ["apples", "oranges", "mangoes", "grapes"]:
        for fruits in reversed(item):
            return item
    elif item == {"apples", "oranges", "mangoes", "grapes"}:
        for fruits in item:
            fruits.append("ANDELA", "TIA", "AFRICA")
        return item
    if item ==  {"apples": 23, "oranges": 15, "mangoes": 3, "grapes": 45}:
        return dict.keys()

Referring to the whole of a community as “sir” is not only too formal,
it also betrays a different error: you seem to think you're in a
one-on-one dialogue devoted to your issues.

Please, instead of trying to make your messages more polite (your
phrasing is already plenty polite enough), do us the respect of spending
time on the *content* of your message.

As has been asked of you many times now: When you have a question,
please make it specific and answerable.

Describe what *specifically* is confusing or concerning you; describe
*specifically* what you did, what you expected to happen, and what
happened instead.

Putting effort into making your messages easiler to comprehend will be
far more polite than merely calling us collectively “sir”. It will have
the added benefit of getting you more useful answers.

In other words, nobody wants to do your homework for you. Your fault for being a lazy POS and doing everything last minute.
