The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. return min(numbers), max(numbers) sends two values back, as a tuple.
For [4, 9, 2, 7] the result is (2, 9). The caller can unpack it: low, high = min_max(...).
