@PhDemetri They'll need to know the fundamentals. I'd recommend looking at some beginner books' and courses' contents to enumerate everything, e.g., https://t.co/SaqNNloTEI - and less obviously, they'll need to be able to debug at least a little (understand error messages etc.)

@the_coding_tips Remember that sets are unordered, so the result will not have the order of the original list. You can also use a list comprehension: [item for item in list_a if item not in list_b]. Cast list_b to a set and it'll run faster since sets have constant-time lookup.
