Objective

Able to write programs using list,

tuple, dictionary and set
List
Introduction
• Using a list, a programmer can use a single variable to store all the
elements of the same or different data type and even print them.
• A list is a sequence of values called items or elements.
• The elements can be of any type.
• A list is mutable in nature; the contents can be changed.
• The user can increase or decrease its size; thus it is dynamic in nature.
• The elements are placed within a square bracket, differentiated by a
comma separator.
Creating of List Objects
The list class defines lists. A programmer can use a list’s
constructor to create a list. The empty list object can be
created as follows:

Creating of List Objects (with list function)

Creating of List Objects (with split() function)
Accessing Elements of a List
The elements of a list are unidentifiable by their positions. Hence, the
index[] operator is used to access them.
Accessing Elements of a List (By using an index)

Accessing Elements of a List (By using a slice operator)

List vs Mutability
After the creation of a list, you can modify its
contents; hence it is mutable in nature.
Traversing the Elements of a List
Traversal means to access the elements of a list sequentially.

Important Functions of a List
Getting the information about the list
• len()
• count()
• index()
Important Functions of a List
Manipulating Elements of a List
• append() - This function is used to add new items at the end of a list
• insert() - It is used to insert an item at a specified index position.

Manipulating Elements of a List
• extend() - add the items of a list into another list
Important Functions of a List
Manipulating Elements of a List
• remove() - remove particular items from the list
• pop() – remove and return the last element of the list
Important Functions of a List
Ordering Elements of a List
• reverse() – reverses the elements of the list
• sort() – sorts the elements of data
Using Mathematical Operators of List
Two operators are used for list objects; + and *
Membership Operators
Membership operators are used to check whether the element is a
member of the list or not.
The clear() function
The clear() function is used to remove all the elements from the list.

List comprehensions
List comprehension is used to create a new list from existing sequences. It
is a tool for transforming a given list into another list.
Tuple
Introduction
• A tuple contains a sequence of items of many types.
• The elements of tuples are fixed.
• Once a tuple has been created, we cannot add or delete elements or
shuffle their order.
• Tuples are immutable
Tuple Creation
A tuple is an inbuilt data type in Python. In order to create a tuple, the
elements of tuples are enclosed in parenthesis instead of square brackets.
Accessing Elements of a Tuple
The elements of a tuple can be accessed by the index and slice
operator.
Tuple vs Immutability
A tuple is immutable in nature; you cannot modify the contents of a tuple
once created.

Tuple Packing and Unpacking
A tuple can be created by packing the set of variables.
Set
Introduction
• A set is an unordered collection of unique elements without duplicates.
• A set is mutable.
• We can easily add or remove elements from a set.
• The set data structure in Python is used to support mathematical set
operations.
• Set is an unordered and unindexed collection of items in Python.
Unordered means when we display the elements of a set, it will come
out in random order.
• Unindexed means, we cannot access the elements of a set using the
indexes like we can do in list and tuples.
Create of Set Objects
A programmer can create a set by enclosing the elements inside a pair of
curly brackets{}.

Set comprehension
The indexing and slicing operations are not supported by set
objects.
Dictionary
Introduction
• A dictionary is a collection that stores values along with keys.
• The sequence of such keys and value pairs is separated by commas.
• These pairs are sometimes called entries.
• If you wish to show the set of objects as a (key, value) pair, then
dictionaries are preferred.
Create a Dictionary
• We can create a dictionary by enclosing the items inside a pair of curly
brackets{}.
• One way to start a dictionary is to create an empty dictionary first and
then add items to it.
Accessing Data from a Dictionary
The data can be accessed using keys.
Updating a Dictionary
If you wish to add any new (key, value) pair in the already defined
dictionary, then the following syntax is used:
Deleting Elements from a Dictionary
Important Functions of a Dictionary
a) len(): It gives the quantity of elements present in the dictionary.
b) clear(): It will delete the complete elements from dictionary.
c) get(): It will return the associated value of the key if it is present or
none will be returned.
