# Python Lists – Complete Notes

## 1. Introduction to Lists

- A list is an ordered, mutable, and iterable collection.

- Lists allow duplicate elements.

- Syntax: `my_list = [1, 2, 3]`

## 2. Creating Lists

- Empty list: `[]` or `list()`

- With elements: `[1, 2, 3]`

- Mixed data types: `[1, "hello", 3.5]`

- Nested list: `[1, [2, 3], 4]`

## 3. Accessing List Elements

- Positive indexing: `list[0]`

- Negative indexing: `list[-1]`

- Nested access: `list[1][0]`

## 4. List Slicing

- `list[start:end]`

- `list[:end]`, `list[start:]`

- Step slicing: `list[start:end:step]`

## 5. Updating Lists

- Modify an element: `list[0] = 10`

- Modify slice: `list[1:3] = [20, 30]`

## 6. Adding Elements

- `[Link](x)` → adds at end

- `[Link](i, x)` → inserts at index

- `[Link]([a, b])` → adds multiple items


## 7. Removing Elements

- `[Link](x)` → removes first occurrence

- `[Link](i)` → removes index

- `[Link]()` → removes last element

- `del list[i]`

- `[Link]()` → empty list

## 8. Searching in Lists

- `x in list`

- `[Link](x)`

- `[Link](x)`

## 9. Sorting Lists

- `[Link]()`

- `[Link](reverse=True)`

- `sorted(list)` → returns new list

## 10. List Functions

- `len(list)`

- `max(list)`

- `min(list)`

- `sum(list)`

- `[Link]()`

## 11. List Comprehension

- `[x for x in range(10)]`

- `[x*x for x in nums if x%2==0]`

## 12. Iterating Lists

- Using for loop

- Using while loop


- Using enumerate()

## 13. Nested Lists

- 2D list example:

```

matrix = [

[1, 2, 3],

[4, 5, 6]

```

## 14. Important List Methods

- append()

- extend()

- insert()

- remove()

- pop()

- clear()

- sort()

- reverse()

- copy()

## 15. Difference Between List & Tuple

- List is mutable, tuple is immutable

- List uses `[]`, tuple uses `()`

## 16. Common Errors

- IndexError

- ValueError

- TypeError
## 17. Practical Programs

1. Reverse list

2. Find largest number

3. Remove duplicates

4. Merge two lists

5. List comprehension examples
