Python Lists

• Lists are used to store multiple items in


a single variable.
• Lists are created using square brackets:
• Create a List:
thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist)
• 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.
Note1 :When we say that lists are ordered, it means that
the items have a defined order, and
If you add new items to a list, the new items will be placed
at the end of the list.
Note2 : The list is changeable, meaning that we can
change, add, and remove items in a list after it has been
created.
• letters =
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGH
IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

• string_letters = str(letters)
• lists_letters = list(letters)
• tuples_letters = tuple(letters)
• sets_letters = set(letters)
• print("String: ", string_letters)
• print() # for new line
• print("Lists: ", lists_letters)
• print() # for new line
• print("Tuples: ", tuples_letters)
• print() # for new line
• print("Sets: ", sets_letters)
• Allow Duplicates
• Lists allow duplicate values:
thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cher
ry"]
print(thislist)
List Length
• To determine how many items a list has,
use the len() function:
• Example
• Print the number of items in the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(len(thislist))
List Items - Data Types

• List items can be of any data type:


• Example
• String, int and boolean data types and
different datatypes :
list1 =
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
list2 = [1, 5, 7, 9, 3]
list3 = [True, False, False]
• List items are indexed and you can
access them by referring to the index
number:

• Example
• Print the second item of the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist[1])
Negative Indexing
• Negative indexing means start from the
end
• -1 refers to the last item, -2 refers to the
second last item etc.
• Example
• Print the last item of the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist[-1])
Range of Indexes
• You can specify a range of indexes by
specifying where to start and where to end the
range.When specifying a range, the return
value will be a new list with the specified items.
• Return the third, fourth, and fifth item:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange",
"kiwi", "melon", "mango"]
print(thislist[2:5])
• index 2 (included) and end at index 5 (not
included).
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry",
"orange", "kiwi", "melon", "mango"]
print(thislist[:4]) # from 0th to 3rd
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry",
"orange", "kiwi", "melon", "mango"]
print(thislist[2:]) #from 3rd to end
• Range of Negative Indexes

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange",


"kiwi", "melon", "mango"]
print(thislist[-4:-1])
thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
if "apple" in thislist:
print("Yes, 'apple' is in the
fruits list")
Change Item Value

• Change the second item:


thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1] = "blackcurrant"
print(thislist)
Change a Range of Item
Values
thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange",
"kiwi", "mango"]
thislist[1:3] =
["blackcurrant", "watermelon"]
print(thislist)
Output
'apple', 'blackcurrant', 'watermelon', 'orange', 'kiwi', 'mango']
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1:2] = ["blackcurrant", "watermelon"]
print(thislist)

'apple', 'blackcurrant', 'watermelon',


[

'cherry']
• thislist =
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1:3] = ["watermelon"]
print(thislist)

['apple', 'watermelon']
• Insert Items
• To insert a new list item, without replacing
any of the existing values, we can use the
insert() method.
• The insert() method inserts an item at the
specified index:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.insert(2, "watermelon")
print(thislist)
Append Items
• To add an item to the end of the list, use
the append() method:
• Example
• Using the append() method to append an
item:
• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
• thislist.append("orange")
• print(thislist)
Extend List
• To append elements from another list to
the current list, use the extend() method.
Add the elements of tropical to thislist:

thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


tropical = ["mango", "pineapple", "papaya"]
thislist.extend(tropical)
print(thislist)
Remove Specified Item
• The remove() method removes the
specified item.

Remove "banana":

• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


• thislist.remove("banana")
• print(thislist)
Remove Specified Index
• The pop() method removes the specified
index.
• Remove the second item:
• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
• thislist.pop(1)
• print(thislist)
Note: If you do not specify the index, the
pop() method removes the last item.
Remove the last item:

• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


• thislist.pop()
• print(thislist)
• The del keyword also removes the
specified index:
• Example
• Remove the first item:

• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


• del thislist[0]
• print(thislist)
• The del keyword can also delete the list
completely.

• Example
• Delete the entire list:

• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


• del thislist
• Clear the List
• The clear() method empties the list.
• The list still remains, but it has no
content.
• Example
• Clear the list content:
• thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
• thislist.clear()
• print(thislist)
Python - List Methods
• Method Description
• append() Adds an element at the end
of the list
• clear() Removes all the elements from
the list
• copy() Returns a copy of the list
• count() Returns the number of elements
with the specified value

any iterable), to the end of the current list
• index() Returns the index of the first
element with the specified value
• insert() Adds an element at the specified
position
• pop() Removes the element at the
specified position
• remove() Removes the item with the
specified value
• reverse() Reverses the order of the
list
• sort() Sorts the list
• List = ['Mathematics', 'chemistry', 1997,
2000]
• # Insert at index 2 value 10087
• List.insert(2,10087)
• print(List)
Calculates total occurrence
of a given element of List.
• List = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1]
• print(List.count(1))
• List = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1]
• print(len(List))
index()
• Returns the index of the first
occurrence. The start and End index
are not necessary parameters.
• List = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1]
• print(List.index(2))
remove()
• Element to be deleted is mentioned using
list name and element.
• Syntax
• list.remove(element)

• # copying a list
• numbers = prime_numbers.copy()
• print('Copied List:', numbers)
• cars = ['Ford', 'BMW', 'Volvo']

• cars.sort()
• print(cars)
• prime_numbers = [2, 3, 5, 7]
• # reverse the order of list elements
• prime_numbers.reverse()
• print('Reversed List:', prime_numbers)

• # Output: Reversed List: [7, 5, 3, 2]
