List in python
A Python list is like a collection of items, similar to a toy
box where you can store different toys. You can add,
remove, or change the toys in the box.

A list is created by placing all the items (elements) inside


square brackets [ ], separated by commas.

It can have any number of items andthey may be of


different types (integer, float, stringetc.).
List in python
Ordered - Lists are ordered, meaning items have a set order
that doesn't change, and new items are added to the end.

Changeable - The list is changeable, meaning that we can


change, add, and remove items in a list after it has been
created.

Allow duplicates - Since lists are indexed, lists can have


items with the same value.

Negative indexing means start from the end
-1 refers to the last item, -2 refers to the second last item
etc.

2. Add 2 more dishes to the list using append.
3. Insert a new sweet dish at the second position using
insert.
4. Remove the last dish from the list using pop.
5. Count how many times your favorite dishes appears in
the list using count.
6. Sort the list in alphabetical order using sort.
7. Reverse the order of the list using reverse.
8. Print the final copied list and the cleared list.
Time a Task!!!
Confusion is part of programming.
