Python List, Tuple & Set Methods with Examples
List Methods
append()
Adds an element to the end of the list.
my_list = [1, 2]
my_list.append(3)
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
extend()
Appends elements from another iterable (like list).
my_list = [1, 2]
my_list.extend([3, 4])
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
insert()
Inserts an element at a specific index.
my_list = [1, 3]
my_list.insert(1, 2)
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
remove()
Removes the first occurrence of a value.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.remove(2)
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 3]
pop()
Removes and returns the last item by default.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
item = my_list.pop()
print(item) # Output: 3
clear()
Removes all items from the list.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.clear()
print(my_list) # Output: []
index()
Returns the index of the first match of value.
my_list = [10, 20, 30]
print(my_list.index(20)) # Output: 1
count()
Returns the number of occurrences of a value.
my_list = [1, 2, 2, 3]
print(my_list.count(2)) # Output: 2
Python List, Tuple & Set Methods with Examples
sort()
Sorts the list in ascending order by default.
my_list = [3, 1, 2]
my_list.sort()
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
reverse()
Reverses the elements of the list.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.reverse()
print(my_list) # Output: [3, 2, 1]
copy()
Returns a shallow copy of the list.
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
copy_list = my_list.copy()
print(copy_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3]
