Basic Functions in Python (List, Tuple, Set, Dictionary)

1. List Functions:
- append(): Adds an item at the end.
my_list = [1, 2]; my_list.append(3) # [1, 2, 3]
- insert(): Inserts item at given index.
my_list = [1, 3]; my_list.insert(1, 2) # [1, 2, 3]
- remove(): Removes first matching item.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]; my_list.remove(2) # [1, 3]
- pop(): Removes and returns last item.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]; my_list.pop() # 3
- sort(): Sorts list in ascending order.
my_list = [3, 1, 2]; my_list.sort() # [1, 2, 3]
- reverse(): Reverses the list.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]; my_list.reverse() # [3, 2, 1]
- clear(): Removes all elements.
my_list = [1, 2]; my_list.clear() # []
- count(): Counts item occurrences.
my_list = [1, 2, 2]; my_list.count(2) # 2

2. Tuple Functions:
- count(): Counts occurrences of value.
my_tuple = (1, 2, 2); my_tuple.count(2) # 2
- index(): Returns index of value.
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3); my_tuple.index(2) # 1

3. Set Functions:
- add(): Adds an element.
my_set = {1, 2}; my_set.add(3) # {1, 2, 3}
- remove(): Removes item or error.
my_set = {1, 2}; my_set.remove(2) # {1}
- discard(): Removes if exists, no error.
my_set = {1, 2}; my_set.discard(3) # {1, 2}
- clear(): Empties the set.
my_set = {1}; my_set.clear() # set()
- union(): Combines sets.
{1, 2}.union({2, 3}) # {1, 2, 3}
- intersection(): Common elements.
{1, 2}.intersection({2, 3}) # {2}
- difference(): Items in A not B.
{1, 2}.difference({2, 3}) # {1}

4. Dictionary Functions:
- get(): Returns value or None.
{"a": 1}.get("a") # 1
- keys(): Returns all keys.
list({"a": 1}.keys()) # ['a']
- values(): Returns all values.
list({"a": 1}.values()) # [1]
- items(): Returns key-value pairs.
list({"a": 1}.items()) # [('a', 1)]
- update(): Adds/updates key-value.
d = {"a": 1}; d.update({"b": 2}) # {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
- pop(): Removes key, returns value.
d = {"a": 1, "b": 2}; d.pop("b") # 2
