iii. Note: All contact lists within this module should assume the list is of the
form: [[“first name”,”last name”],[“first name”,”last name”],…]
iv. Note: All functions should implement a docstring with a simple sentence
that describes the function.
v. Define a function named add_contact to meet the following requirements:
a. Take a contact list as a positional parameter.
b. Take a first_name as a keyword parameter.
c. Take a last_name as a keyword parameter.
d. Append the first_name/last_name contact to the contact list.

requirements:
a. Take a contact list as a positional parameter.
b. Take a first_name as a keyword parameter.
c. Take a last_name as a keyword parameter.
d. Take an index as a keyword parameter.
e. If the index it is within the range of the contact list, modify the
appropriate index of the contact list with the first_name/last_name
contact, and return a True.
f. If the index it is not within the range of the contact list, return a
False without modifying the contact list.
vii. Define a function named delete_contact to meet the following
requirements:
a. Take a contact list as a positional parameter.
b. Take an index as a keyword parameter.

b. Add contact
c. Modify contact
d. Delete contact
e. Sort list by first name
f. Sort list by last name
g. Exit the program
vi. Prompt the user for the menu choice.

output meets the above requirements.
