List

A list is a collection of items where each item has an index. The first item has an index of 0 and the last item has an index of n-1, where n is the total number of items in the list. Lists allow accessing, iterating, slicing, updating, adding, and removing items using their index positions.

LIST

It is a collections of items and each item has its


own index value.
Index of first item is 0 and the last item is n-1.Here
n is number of items in a list.

Indexing of list
LIST
• Creating a list
• Lists are enclosed in square brackets [ ] and each item is separated
by a comma.

• Initializing a list- Passing value in list while declaring list is initializing of a


list
• e.g.

• list1 = [‘English', ‘Hindi', 1997, 2000]


• list2 = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55 ]
• list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]

• Blank list creation- A list can be created without element


• e.g.
• List4=[ ]
LIST

Access Items From A List


List items can be accessed using its index position.
e.g.
list =[3,5,9]
print(list[0]) 3
print(list[1]) 5
print(list[2]) 9
print('Negative indexing') output Negative indexing
print(list[-1]) 9
5
print(list[-2]) 3
print(list[-3])
LIST

Iterating/Traversing Through A List


List elements can be accessed using looping statement.
e.g.
list =[3,5,9]
for i in range(0, len(list)):
print(list[i])

Output
3
5
9
LIST
Slicing of A List
List elements can be accessed in subparts.

e.g.
list =['I','N','D','I','A']
print(list[0:3])
print(list[3:])
print(list[:])

Output
['I', 'N', 'D']
['I', 'A']
['I', 'N', 'D', 'I', 'A']
Updating / Manipulating Lists
LIST
We can update single or multiple elements of lists by
giving the slice on the left-hand side of the assignment
operator. e.g.
list = ['English', 'Hindi', 1997, 2000]
print ("Value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
Output
('Value available at index 2 : ', 1997)
list[2:3] = 2001,2002 #list[2]=2001 for single item update
print ("New value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
print ("New value available at index 3 : ", list[3])
Output
('New value available at index 2 : ', 2001)
('New value available at index 3 : ', 2002)
LIST
Add Item to A List
append() method is used to add an Item to a List.

e.g. list=[1,2]
print('list before append', list)
list.append(3)
print('list after append', list)
Output
('list before append', [1, 2])
('list after append', [1, 2, 3])
NOTE :- extend() method can be used to add multiple item
at a time in list.eg –
list.extend([3,4])
LIST
Add Two Lists
e.g.
list = [1,2]
list2 = [3,4]
list3 = list +list2
print(list3)

OUTPUT
[1,2,3,4]
Delete Item From A List
LIST
e.g. list=[1,2,3]
print('list before delete', list)
del list [1]
print('list after delete', list)

Output

('list before delete', [1, 2, 3])


('list after delete', [1, 3])

e.g.
del list[0:2] # delete first two items
del list # delete entire list

Important methods and functions of List
Function Description

LIST
Some Programs on List
* find the largest/max number in a list #Using
sort
a=[]
n=int(input("Enter number of elements:"))
for i in range(1,n+1):
b=int(input("Enter element:"))
a.append(b)
a.sort()
print("Largest element is:",a[n-1])
#using function definition
list1, list2 = [123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc'], [456, 700, 200]
def max_num_in_list( list ): print "Max value element : ", max(list1)
max = list[ 0 ] print "Max value element : ", max(list2) Output
for a in list: if a > max: Max value element : zara Max value element : 700
max = a
return max
print(max_num_in_list([1, 2, -8,
0]))
LIST

Some Programs on List


* find the mean of a list
def Average(lst): #finding mean of a number return sum(lst) / len(lst)

# Driver Code
lst = [15, 9, 55, 41, 35, 20, 62, 49]
average = Average(lst) # Printing average of the list
print("Average of the list =", round(average, 2))

Output
Average of the list = 35.75
Note : The inbuilt function mean() can be used to calculate the mean( average )
of the list.
e.g. mean(list)
LIST
Some Programs on List
* Linear Search
list_of_elements = [4, 2, 8, 9, 3, 7]

x = int(input("Enter number to search: "))

found = False

for i in range(len(list_of_elements)):
if(list_of_elements[i] == x):
found = True
print("%d found at %dth position"%(x,i))
break
if(found == False):
print("%d is not in list"%x)
LIST
Some Programs on List
* Frequency of an element in list
import collections
my_list = [101,101,101,101,201,201,201,201]
print("Original List : ",my_list)
ctr = collections.Counter(my_list)
print("Frequency of the elements in the List : ",ctr)

OUTPUT
Original List : [101, 101,101, 101, 201, 201, 201, 201]
Frequency of the elements in the List : Counter({101: 4, 201:4})

NOTE :SAME CAN BE DONE USING COUNT FUNCTION.E.G.


lst.count(x)
