print(index_of_sublist([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [6, 7])) # Output: -1
These additional problems provide a diverse set of challenges related to list operations, including
advanced concepts like permutations and subsequences. They should help deepen your
understanding of list manipulations and algorithms in Python.
