Write program named program71.py as follows. Follow instructions carefully to avoid point deductions.

In the main function:

• create list named states1 that holds the two-letter abbreviations of the first 10 USA states, in alphabetical order.
• use a loop to process the list and display the abbreviations all on the same line, separated by a single space. See sample output.
• make a second list named states2 by slicing. This new list must hold the middle four state abbreviations from states1.
• execute a function named list_func with states2 as its sole argument.
• inside the list_func function:
• delete the second element in the list
• insert the abbreviation for Texas into the list at index 2
• prompt the user for the abbreviation of another state of your choice, then append it to the list
• reverse the list
• return the list to main
• back in main, use a loop to iterate over the returned list, printing all abbreviations on one line separated by a space.
