PYTHON LIST

Python by Computer G
LIST A list is a collection which is
ordered and changeable. In Python
lists are written with square
brackets.
Example Create a List:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist) # returns ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
ACCESS ITEMS
You access the list items by referring to the index number:
Example Print the second item of the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist[1]) # returns banana
CHANGE ITEM VALUE
To change the value of a specific item, refer to the index number:
Example Change the second item:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1] = "grapes" print(thislist)
# returns ['apple', 'grapes', 'cherry']
CHECK IF ITEM EXISTS
To determine if a specified item is present in a list use the in
keyword:
Example Check if "apple" is present in the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
if "apple" in thislist:
print("Yes, 'apple' is in the fruits list")
LIST LENGTH
To determine how many items a list has, use the len()
method: Example Print the number of items in the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(len(thislist)) # returns 3
REMOVE ITEM
There are several methods to remove items from a list:
Example The remove() method removes the specified item:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.remove("banana")
print(thislist) # returns ['apple', 'cherry']
POP() METHOD
Example The pop() method removes the specified index,
(or the last item if index is not specified):
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.pop()
print(thislist)
# returns ['apple', 'banana']
DEL
Example The del keyword removes the specified index:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
del thislist[0]
print(thislist) # returns ['banana', 'cherry']
Example The del keyword can also delete the list
completely:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
del thislist
CLEAR()
Example The clear() method empties the list:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.clear()
print(thislist) # returns [ ]
COPY A LIST
You cannot copy a list simply by typing list2 = list1,
because: list2 will only be a reference to list1, and
changes made in list1 will automatically also be
made in list2.
There are ways to make a copy, one way is to use
the built-in List method copy()
COPY()
Example Make a copy of a list with the copy() method:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
mylist = thislist.copy()
print(mylist)
# returns ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
COPY A LIST
Example Make a copy of a list with the list() method:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
mylist = list(thislist)
print(mylist) # returns ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
