## Summary:

##This algorithm provides a systematic approach to updating a file that manages IP addresses for restricted content access
##By checking and removing IP addresses from the allow list based on the remove list,
##it ensures that the file remains up-to-date with the current access permissions.
##The use of Python's file handling methods and list operations makes the process efficient and straightforward.
