When working with legal regulations, it is common to compare different versions to identify what has changed. In this challenge, you will use two hardcoded lists in Python—each representing a set of regulation section numbers or names from two versions of a regulation. Your task is to compare these lists and clearly display which sections have been added and which have been removed. To do this effectively, you will need to find the differences between the lists, then format your output so that it is easy to see which sections are new and which are no longer present. This approach helps legal professionals quickly understand regulatory changes and focus their compliance efforts.
