Collecting ORDERED Items
list
A list is an ordered collection of items (objects)
- Created using square brackets,
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 7, 300]
-
they are mutable, you can change, add or remove elements without creating a new list
numbers[3] = 0
numbers = numbers + ['hi']
numbers.remove(300)
Indexing and slicing
numbers = [1, 2, 4, 17, -8, 300]
# Access elements by index
numbers[0]
numbers[3]
# Negative indexing
numbers[-1]
# Slicing the list
# to get sub-lists
start = 2
end = 4
numbers[start:end]To access a subset of its elements
Common list methods
-
append(x): Add x to the end of the list.
-
