List – Unit 4 Python
1) Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
2) Lists are one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections
of data, the other 3 are Tuple, Set, and Dictionary, all with different
qualities and usage.
3) Lists are created using square brackets:
4) Example of the list in Python
Here we are creating a Python List using [].
Python
Var = ["Geeks",
"for", "Geeks"]
print(Var)
List Items:
List items are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate values.
List items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second item has
index [1] etc.
Ordered
When we say that lists are ordered, it means that the items have a defined
order, and that order will not change.
If you add new items to a list, the new items will be placed at the end of the
list.
ACCESS VALUE IN LIST;
List can also be sliced and Concatenated. To access value in list, Square
brackets are used to slice along with the index or indices to get value stored
at that index.
The Syntax for the Slice operation is
Seq=List[Start:stop:step]
Example : Program to demonstrate hthe Slice operation used to access the
elements in the list
Num_list=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
Print(“num_list is:”,num_list)
Print(“First element in the list is”,num_list[0])
Print(“num_list[2:5]=”,num_list[2:5])
Print(num_list[::2]=”,num_list[::2])
Print(“num_list[1::3]=”,num_list[1::3])
Output:
Num_list is :[
