THE LISTS

LIST
 A list is an ordered sequence of information, accessible by index
 A list is denoted by square brackets, []
 A list contains elements
• usually homogeneous (i.e., all integers)
• can contain mixed types (not common)
 list elements can be changed so a list is mutable

 You can use :
- the concatenation operator + to concatenate two lists.
- the repetition operator * to duplicate elements.
- the slicing operator [ : ] to get a sublist.
- the in and not in operators to check whether an element is
in a list.
 You can use a for loop to traverse all elements in a list
 You can use the comparison operators to compare the elements of
two lists

OPERATIONS ON LISTS
 You can use the methods append, extend, insert, pop, and remove to
add and remove elements to and from a list
 You can use the index method to get the index of an element in a list,
and the count method to return the count of the element in the list
 You can use the sort and reverse methods to sort or reverse the
elements in a list
 You can use the split method to split a string into a list

OTHER LIST OPERATIONS
1 . You can use the Python built-in functions:
 len to return the length of a list.
 max to return the maximum elements in a list.
 min, to return the minimum elements in a list.
 sum to return the sum of all the elements in a list.

2. You can use the shuffle function in the random module to shuffle the
elements in a list
3. You can use the index operator [ ] to reference an individual element in
a list

16
OTHER LIST OPERATIONS
 sort() and sorted()
 reverse()
 and many more! https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html
L=[9,6,0,3]
sorted(L) returns sorted list, does not mutate L
L.sort() mutates L=[0,3,6,9]
L.reverse() mutates L=[9,6,3,0]
