The most basic data structure in Python is the

sequence. Each element of a sequence is assigned a

number -its position or index. The first index is zero,

the second index is one, and so forth.

tu
Python has six built-in types of sequences, but the
most common ones are lists and tuples, which we
S
would see in this tutorial.
D
There are certain things you can do with all sequence

JM
types. These operations include indexing, slicing,
adding, multiplying, and checking for membership. In
addition, Python has built-in functions for finding the
length of a sequence and for finding its largest and
smallest elements.

The list is a most versatile datatype available in

Python which can be written as a list of comma-

d
Important thing about a list is that items in a list need

not be of the same type

St
Creating a list is as simple as putting different

comma-separated values between square brackets.
For example −

list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000];
list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ];
list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
