LIST MANIPULATION
List in python used to store sequence of items belonging to any type.
[ ] Square brackets are used in list
Each item is separated by comma
List are mutable (elements in a list can be changed)

Consider the following list


negative index
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
mylist = 9 19 29 30 60 65
0 1 2 3 4 5
index

index - from left hand side


starts from 0 to size – 1
negative index - start right
from -1 to –(size)

Creating List
List1 = [10, 15, 20, 25, 30]
List2 = [‘a’, ‘e’, ‘I’, ‘o’, ‘u’]
List3 = [2202, “Amit”, 25, “India”, “Pass”, 25.6]
List4 = [“MP”, “UP”, “CG”, “AP”]

List5 = list(“kvs”)
List5 # [‘k’, ‘v’, ‘s’]

Access an item from a list


Item in a list can be access by using its either index number or negative index number

ListA = [8, 19, 23, 47]


ListA[0] #8
ListA[2] # 23
ListA[‐2] # 23

Iteration through a list


O/p 2
ListB = [2, 4, 8, 10]
for i in range(0, len(listB)) : 4
print(listB[i]) 8
10

Slicing of a list
ListC = [“I”, “N”, “I”, “D”, “I”, “A”]
ListC[0 : 3] # [‘I’, ‘N’, ‘D’]
ListC[1 : 4] # [ ‘N’, ‘D’, ‘I’]
ListC[ : ]
ListC Both will give same result

# [ ‘I’, ‘N’, ‘D’, ‘I’, ‘A’]

Updating a list
Single or Multiple elements can be updated.
ListD = [36, 46, 56, 66, 76]
ListD[2] # 56
ListD[2] = 1000 # 56
ListD[2] # 1000
ListD # [36, 46, 1000, 66, 76]
ListD[2:3]= 400,500 # [36, 46, 400, 500, 66, 76]

Add an item to a list


There are two ways to add an item to a list
a. Using append
b. Using Extend

Using append : It is used to add only one item at a time


Using Extend : It is used to add one or more item (Multiple items)at a time

Append command Extend command


ListF = [44, 55] ListF = [44, 55]
List F # [44, 55] List F # [44, 55]
ListF.append(77) ListF.extend(77) # Error
ListF # [44, 55, 77]
ListF.extend([77]) # [44, 55, 77]
ListF.append(88,88) # Error
ListF.append([88, 99]) # [44, 55, 77, 88, 99]

Add Two Lists


Two or more lists can be added.

ListM = [8, 9, 10]


ListN = [20, 30]

List1 = ListM + listN


List1 # [8, 9, 10, 20, 30]

List2 = ListN + listM


List2 # [20, 30, 8, 9, 10]

ListP = [100,200 ]
List4 = ListP + ListM + ListN # [100, 200, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30]

Delete an item from a List


One or more items is possible to delete from a list.

ListB = [11, 21, 31, 41, 51]


del listB[1] # [11, 31, 41, 51]
del ListB[0 : 2] # used to delete first 2 items from list
# [41, 51]
del ListB # Delete the entire list
ListB # Error

“*” Command in a List
“*” function used in a list to repeat the item of list
ListC = [21, 31, 41]
ListC # [21, 31, 41]
ListC * 3 # [21, 31, 41, 21, 31, 41, 21, 31, 41 ]

Whether item present in a List


in ‐ return True if item present in the list otherwise return False
not in ‐ return True if item is not available in the list otherwise return True

ListC = [21, 31, 41]


10 in ListC # False
31 in ListC # True

15 not in ListC # True


41 not in ListC # False

Sequence
List1 = list(“good”)
List1 # [‘g’, ‘o’, ‘o’, ‘d’]

List2 = list(input(‘Enter the list of elements : ‘))


Enter the list of Elements : 23456
List2 # [‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’] as string

FUNCTIONS
a. insert( )
this function is used to insert an item to the list at desired index position.
ListC = [21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71]
listC.insert(2, 100) # [21, 31, 100, 41, 51, 61, 71]

b. remove( )
Function is used to remove an item from the list, argument will be item
ListC = [21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71]
listC.remove(41) # [21, 31, 51, 61, 71]

c. pop( )
Function is used to remove an item from the list, argument will be index number
ListC = [21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71]
listC.pop(3) # 51
listC # [21, 31, 61, 71]

d. index( )
Function return the index number of any item available in the list
ListC = [21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71]
listC.index(51) # 3 (index number of 51 is 3)

e. clear( )
Function is used to remove all items from list or make the list empty.

ListC = [21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71]
listC.clear( ) #[]

f. count( )
Function is used to count the number of occurrence of any element in a list.
ListC = [1, 3, 5, 1, 7, 2, 1, 7]
listC.count(1) #3
listC.count(7) #2
listC.count(100) #0

g. max( )
Return the maximum item value in a list of items
ListC = [1, 3, 5, 1, 17, 2, 1, 7]
max(ListC ) # 17

h. min( )
Return the maximum item value in a list of items
ListC = [1, 3, 5, 1, 17, 2, 1, 7]
min(ListC ) #1

i. len( )
count the number of element available to the list
ListC = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55]
len(ListC ) #5

ListB = [“Ram”, “Kamal”, “Anuj”]


ListB # [‘Ram’, ‘Kamal’, ‘Anuj’]
len(ListB) #3

j. reverse( )
show the list of items in reverse order
ListC = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55]
ListC.reverse( )
ListC # 55, 44, 33, 22, 11

k. sort( )
arrange the list of item in an order
