Lists:
A built-in data type that stores set of values
It can store elements of different types (integer, float, string, etc.)
marks = [89.9 , 94.4 , 99.1]
Indexing is allowed in lists.

marks = [89.9 , 94.4 , 99.1]


print(marks[2])

List Array
Can consist of elements belonging to Only consists of elements belonging to the
different data types same data type
No need to explicitly import a module for Need to explicitly import the array module
the declaration for declaration
Cannot directly handle arithmetic Can directly handle arithmetic operations
operations

Strings: Are immutable (cannot be modified).


Lists: Are mutable (can be modified).

Eg:

# str = "hello"
# print(str[0])
# str[0] = "y" not possible
#run it in an IDE
student = ["srikanth" , 18]
print(student[0])
student[0] = "harsh" #posssible
print(student[0])

List Slicing:
Similar to string slicing

Syntax: list_name[starting_indx : ending_indx] (ending index isn't included)

marks = [87, 64, 33, 95, 76]


print(marks[ 1 : 4 ])
print(marks[ : 4 ])
print(marks[ 1 : ])
print(marks[ -3 : -1 ])

List Methods:
list.append(4) adds one element at the end
list.insert(idx, el) insert element at index
list.sort() sorts in ascending order
list.reverse() reverses list
list.sort(reverse=True) sorts in descending order

marks = [2,5,1,7,3]
print(marks.append(9)) #append doesn't return any value
marks.sort()
print(marks)

list = [2, 1, 3, 1]
list.remove(1) removes first occurrence of element [2, 3, 1]
list.pop(idx) removes element at index

2D List:

list1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
list2 = [3,4,5,6,7,8]
list3=[list1,list2]
print(list3)

map():
The map() function is used to apply a given function to every item of an iterable, such as
a list or tuple, and returns a map object (which is an iterator).

s = ['1', '2', '3', '4']


res = map(int, s)
print(list(res))

Tuples:
A built-in data type that lets us create immutable sequences of values.
tuple_name=(3,4,5,6,7)
Tuple can be accessed in the following way: tuple_name[index_num] .
We cannot assign values to a tuple, tuple_name[0] = 5 is not possible.

tuple_name=(1,) this is a single value tuple and not this tuple_name=(1) here python
interprets 1 as an integer or like any other variable.

Tuple Methods:
tuple_name=(2, 1, 3, 1)

tuple_name.index(el) returns index of first occurrence tup.index(2) is 0


tuple_name.count(el) counts total occurrences tup.count(1) is 2

Practice Questions:
WAP to ask the user to enter names of their 3 people & store them in a list.

print("Enter three names,")


name1 = input("Name 1:")
name2 = input("Name 2:")
name3 = input("Name 3:")
name_list = [name1, name2, name3]
print(name_list)

print("Enter three names,")


names = []
names.append(input("Name 1:"))
names.append(input("Name 2:"))
names.append(input("Name 3:"))
print(names)

WAP to check if a list contains a palindrome of elements. (Hint: use copy( ) method).
[1,2,3,2,1] [1, "abc", "abc", 1]
print("Enter a list")
list = []
list.append(input("Value 1:"))
list.append(input("Value 2:"))
list.append(input("Value 3:"))
list.append(input("Value 4:"))
print(list)
rev_list=list.copy()
rev_list.reverse()
if(list==rev_list):
print("The given list is a palindrome")
else:
print("The given list is not a palindrome")
