Building on your understanding of **string manipulation** and **data type conversion**, you are now ready to tackle a practical challenge that brings together these skills. In real-world scenarios, you often receive data as strings, but you may need to process them as numbers. However, not every string will be a valid number, so your code must handle such cases gracefully. This exercise will help you develop a robust utility for converting lists of string values into numeric types, while skipping any entries that cannot be converted.
