$1.$ Given list of strings, write a script to count the number of strings that the string length is $3$ or more and the first and last characters are the same. For example, a list of $[$cbc$,123,$ww$,$abc$,$strings$]$ will have a result of $2($cbc$$ and $$strings$).$

$2.$ Given a list of numbers, i$.$e$.,[23,45,12,123,98,76],$ write a script to find the largest number and its position in the list. It would be the $4$th element and the value is $123$ in the example above.

$3.$ Given a list of numbers of strings, find whether there are two or more numbers$/$strings match $($having the same value$).$ For example, $[12,34,56,78]$ has no match while $["$GIS$",$ "script", "Programming", "Python", "GIS"$]$ has a match.

$4.($Optional$)$ We have $18$ students in the class, simulate the chance that there are students with the same birthday $($the same day, not the year$)$ assuming $365$ days a year. this is an expansion of #$3.($Hint: $1)$ generating $18$ random numbers in the range between $1$ and $365$ and find if there is a match; $2)$ repeating the process many times $($the more times you repeat, the more accurate your result is$)$ and count how many times there is a match.
