Organizing files by their type is a frequent and essential task in **DevOps automation**, especially when you need to manage large numbers of **log files**, **configuration files**, or documentation. By categorizing files based on their **extensions**, you can streamline maintenance, automate clean-up processes, and quickly locate the files you need. In this challenge, you will practice this foundational automation skill by writing a Python script that groups a hardcoded list of filenames into categories according to their file extensions.
