    Python List

    A Python list is a general purpose container that can hold elements of any type. Lists are constructed using brackets [] and commas to separate elements. Elements in a list can be accessed by their index number, and lists support operations like slicing, adding/removing elements, sorting, and more using built-in functions like len(), append(), pop(), sort(), and others. Lists are mutable and can change in size dynamically as elements are added or removed.

    List in Python

    What is List?
     A Python list is a general purpose 1dimensional
    container for variables.

     Variables in a list can be of any type at any


    location, including other lists.

     Lists can change in size: elements can be added or


    removed

     Python List values are accessible using its


    reference and index
    Making a List
     Lists are constructed with brackets [] and commas
    separating every element in the list.

    listName = [value1, value2]

     Example Program

    my_list = [‘String’, 100, 2.2, 10>9]


    List Indexing
     grab element from list through index. The index of first
    value/element is always 0.

    my_list = [‘String’, 100, 2.2, 10>9]

    my_list[0] my_list[3]
    List Slicing
     We can slice list with the used of colon [:]

     my_list[:1]

     my_list[1:]
    List Functions
     len() – use to count list items
    ◦ len(my_list)

     append() - merely appends an element to the end of


    a list: appends whole object at end:
    ◦ my_list.append([4,5])

     count() - takes in an element and returns the number


    of times it occurs in your list
    ◦ my_list.count(4)

     extend - extends list by appending elements from


    the iterable:
    ◦ my_list.extend([4,5])
    List Functions
     index() - will return the index of whatever element is placed
    as an argument. Note: If the element is not in the list an error
    is raised.
    ◦ my_list(value)

     insert() - takes in two arguments:


    insert(index,object). This method places the object at the
    index supplied
    ◦ my_list.inset(2, ‘insert’)

     pop() - which allows us to "pop" off the last element of a list.


    However, by passing an index position you can remove and
    return a specific element.
    ◦ my_list.pop(index/default_last)
    List Functions
     remove() - removes the first occurrence of a value
    ◦ my_list.remove(element/value_to_be_removed)

     reverse() - reverses a list. Note this occurs in place!Meaning


    it affects your list permanently.
    ◦ my_list.reverse()

     sort() - method will sort your list in place:


    ◦ my_list.sort()
    ◦ my_list.sort(reverse=True)

     copy()- use to make an exact copy of list


    ◦ variable = my_list.copy()
