What is List

list is an ordered collection of elements that may contain heterogeneous

data types (numbers, strings, floats, etc). It is a mutable data type,
meaning elements can be modified after creation. Lists are defined using
square brackets [ ], and items are separated by commas.

Example
List1=[10,50.00,'Amit',100.00]
print(List1)
[10, 50.0, 'Amit', 100.0]

Creating a list using a function

❑ eval() is the method used to get any data type from the user.
❑ list() is the type conversion where we can convert any datatype to a list.

Example
Example
st1=list(input('Enter value: '))
st=eval(input('Enter list: '))
print(st1)
print(st)
#output
#output
Enter value: python
Enter List: [10,20,30]
['p', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n']
[10, 20, 30]
Don’t forget the appropriate bracket.

Accessing Elements

We have to use an index that can access an element of a list using positive or negative values. Slicing can
also be done using an index in the form of [start, stop, step] to access the elements.

-ve Index -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

L 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110

Traversing a List

It is a way of visiting each element of the list individually at a time. It can be done using a for and while loop.

Example Example
m=[10,15,20,25,30] m=[13,15,90,12,15]
for i in m: for i in range(0,len(m)):
print(i) print(list[i],type(m[i]))

Updating a List

A list is a mutable data type, i.e. you can change the elements of a list in place. we can update single or
multiple elements of lists by slicing or indexing.

Example Example
m=[10,20,30,40,50] li=[10,15,[100,200],20,25]
m[2]=400 li[2]=400
print(m) print(li)

Membership Operator

The membership operator is used to check whether a specific element exists in a list or any other sequence.
It helps in validating the presence or absence of a value. If the element is found in the sequence, the
expression returns True, otherwise, it returns False.

Example Example Example

m=[10,20,30,40,50] n=[10,20,30,40,50] p=[10,15,[100,200],20,25]

print(100 not in m) print(100 in n) print(200 in p)

Repetition/Replication

The repetition (or replication) operator is used to repeat the elements of a sequence, such as a string or a
list, multiple times. It is represented by the symbol (*). When a sequence is multiplied by a number using
this operator, the entire sequence is repeated that many times in the result.

Example Example Example

list=[10,20] list=[10,20,30] L1=['PYT']*3
print(list*3) print(list*list) print(L1)
[10, 20, 10, 20, 10, 20] TypeError ['PYT', 'PYT','PYT ']

Concatenation

It is used to join two sequences into a single sequence. It is represented by the symbol (+). When applied, it
combines the elements of both sequences in the same order without altering them.

Example Example Example

L1=[1,2,3]+[4,5,6] list3=list1+40 list1=['R','G']
print(L1) print(list3) list1=list1+['B']

INDEX

index operator is used to access individual elements of a sequence. Each element in the sequence is
assigned a position number called an index. By using the index, we can directly retrieve the value stored at
that position.

Example Example
li=[10,20,50,90,2] li=[10,20,50,90,2]
print([Link](20)) print([Link](30))

append

append() is used to add a single element to the end of a list. It increases the size of the list by one and places the new
item as the last element. Syntax: [Link](item), where item is the value you want to add.

Example Example Example

L1 = [1, 2, 3, 4] L1 = [1, 2, 3, 4] L1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]

Extend()

extend() method is used to add multiple elements to the end of a list at once. It takes an iterable (like
another list, tuple, or string) and adds each of its elements individually to the list. This method is useful
when you want to combine or merge sequences into a single list. Syntax: [Link](iterable)

Example
L1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
A = [100, 90, 80, 50]
[Link](A)
print(L1)

Insert()

insert() method is used to add a new element at a specific position in a list. It takes two arguments: the
index (position) where the element should be inserted, and the item to be inserted.

Syntax: [Link](index, item)

Example
L5 = [10,20,30]
[Link](2, 15)
print(L5)

del

del statement is used to delete elements, slices, or even the entire list. del does not return the deleted
value; it simply removes it. Syntax: del list[index] to delete an element at a specific position, or del
list[start:end] to delete a range of elements.

Example Example
L1 = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] L1 = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

del L1[3] del L1[3:5]

pop()

pop() method is used to remove and return an element from a list. By default, it removes the last element,
but you can also specify the index of the element you want to remove.
Syntax: [Link]([index]), where index is optional.

Example Example
L1 = [10, 20, 40,50,60] L1 = [10, 20, 40,50,60]
[Link]() [Link](1)
print(L1) print(L1)

remove()

remove() method is used to delete the first occurrence of a specific element from a list. Unlike pop(), which
works with indexes, remove() works with the actual value of the element.
Syntax: [Link](item), where item is the value to be removed.

Example Example
L1 = [10,50,30,40] L1 = [10,20,30,40,50]
[Link](50) [Link](30)

ascending order, but you can also sort in descending order by using the parameter reverse=True.
Syntax: [Link]() or [Link](reverse=True)

Example Example

reverse() method is used to reverse the order of elements in a list. It does not sort the list but simply flips
the existing order, making the last element come first and the first element come last.

Copy

copy() method is used to create a shallow copy of a list. This means it makes a new list with the same
elements as the original, but both lists are stored at different memory locations.
Syntax: new_list = [Link]()

Example Example
List=[10,15,20,25,30] myList = [10, 20, 30]
Lst=[Link]( ) print("Original list:", myList)
