LISTS IN PYTHON

What is a List?

⚫A List is a compound data type, you can


group values together.
⚫A list contains items separated by commas
and enclosed with in square brackets – [ ]
⚫The items belonging to the list can be
heterogeneous type.
⚫Index starts at ‘0’.
⚫A list in Python can grow and shrink in size
Creation of List

⚫Creation of the list


⚪ list_str = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
⚪ list_int = [1,2,3]
⚪ list_mixed = [“London”, 12 , 56.78]
⚪ List_emp=[ ]
Accessing elements of list
⚫Accessing the list:
⚪ List indices start at 0.
⚪ If an index has a positive value it counts from
the beginning
⚪ If the index has a negative value it counts from
the end.
⚫Example
⚪ color_list=["RED", "Blue", "Green", "Black"]
Item Red Blue Green Black
Index(from left to right) 0 1 2 3

Index(from right to left) -4 -3 -2 -1


Accessing elements of list:

markslist=[54,66,89,21]

#print all the elements of the list


print(markslist) • While accessing List
elements, if you pass a
#access first element of list negative index, python
print(markslist[0]) adds the length of the
list to the index to get
#access last element element’s forward
print(markslist[-1]) index.
markslist[-
1+4]=marklist[3]=21
#access all element one by one
for ele in markslist:
print(ele)
List Operations

Python Results Description


Expression
len([1, 2, 3]) 3 Length
[1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Concatenation
6]
['Hi!'] * 4 ['Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!', Repetition
'Hi!']
3 in [1, 2, 3] True Membership
for x in [1, 2, 3]: 123 Iteration
print(x)
List Methods
⚫ Inserting items
⚪ append(): Adds an element at the end of the list
⚪ insert(): Adds an element at the specified position
⚫ Removing items
⚪ remove(): removes the specified item
⚪ pop(): removes the specified index or the last item if
index is not specified
⚪ del: deletes the list completely:
⚫ Joining two lists
⚪ Using operator ‘+’
⚪ extend(): Add the elements of a list (or any iterable),
to the end of the current list
List Methods

⚫ clear(): Removes all the elements from the


list
⚫ count(): Returns the number of elements
with the specified value
⚫ index(): Returns the index of the first
element with the specified value
⚫ reverse(): Reverses the order of the list

List Comprehension

⚫List comprehensions is a pythonic way of


expressing a ‘for-loop’ that appends to a list
in a single line of code.
⚫list comprehensions hail from functional
programming.
⚫less verbose, clearer and more readable.

Python List Comprehension (Conditionals)

⚫Conditionals can enhance Python list


comprehensions significantly.
⚫They server the following purposes:
⚪ To filter a list, and
⚪ To modify items in a list.
