Lists in Python Programming

Introduction to Lists
What is a List?
•List is a collection of items that are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate
values.
•Lists are one of the most commonly used data types in Python.
•Lists are written with square brackets.

Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits)

Output:
["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
Difference Between List, Tuple and Set
 Key Differences
Feature List Tuple Set

Definition Ordered, changeable, Ordered, unchangeable, Unordered, unchangeable*,


allows duplicates allows duplicates no duplicates

Syntax [] () {}
Mutable? Yes No Partially*
Example fruits = ["apple"] fruits = ("apple") fruits = {"apple"}

*Note: Sets are unchangeable in structure, but their elements can be added or removed.
Various Operations on Lists
Creating a List

You can create a list by placing items (elements) inside


square brackets [], separated by commas.

•Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(numbers)
•Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Adding Elements to a List

Using append() Using insert() Using extend()


Adds a single element to Adds an element at a Adds multiple elements from
the end of the list. specific position. another list or iterable.
Example: Example: Example:

fruits = ["apple", "banana"] fruits = ["apple", "banana"] fruits = ["apple", "banana"]


fruits.append("cherry") fruits.insert(1, "orange") fruits.extend(["cherry", "grape"])
print(fruits) print(fruits) print(fruits)
Output: Output: Output:
["apple", "banana", "cherry"] ["apple", "orange", "banana"] ["apple", "banana", "cherry",
"grape"]
3. Deleting Elements from the List

Using remove() Using pop()


Removes the first occurrence of the Removes the element at a specific index
specified value. or the last element if no index is provided.
Example: Example:

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


fruits.remove("banana") fruits.pop(1)
print(fruits) print(fruits)
Output: Output:
["apple", "cherry"] ["apple", "cherry"]
3. Deleting Elements from the List

Using del Using clear()


Deletes an element at a Removes all elements from the list.
specific index or the entire list.
Example: Example:

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


del fruits[1] fruits.clear()
print(fruits) print(fruits)
Output: Output:
["apple", "cherry"] []
4. Modifying or Replacing List Elements
You can change the value of an element by accessing it via
its index.
• Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
fruits[1] = "orange“
print(fruits)
• Output:
["apple", "orange", "cherry"]
5. List Slicing

•Allows you to access a subset of the list.

•Syntax:
list[start:end] (end index is exclusive).
•Example 1:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "grape"]
print(fruits[1:3])
• Output:
["banana", "cherry"]
5. List Slicing
•Example 2:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "grape"]
print(fruits[-3:-1])
• Output:
['banana', 'cherry’]
•Example 3:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "grape"]
print(fruits[1:])
• Output:
['banana', 'cherry', 'grape’]
5. List Slicing
• Example 4:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "grape"]
print(fruits[:1])
• Output:
[‘apple’]
• Example 5:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "grape"]
print(fruits[:])
• Output:
[‘apple’, 'banana', 'cherry', 'grape’]
6. Traversing a List

•You can iterate through a list using a for loop.


•Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for element in fruits:
print(element)
•Output
apple
banana
cherry
