This document discusses Python lists and their properties and methods. It covers the basics of lists, including that they are ordered and changeable collections that allow duplicate elements. It explains how to create, access, slice, add and remove elements from lists. Some key list methods are also summarized, including append(), extend(), insert(), remove(), pop(), reverse(), sort() and more.

Programming with Python
Python Collections
There are four collection data types in the Python
programming language:
• List is a collection which is ordered and changeable.
Allows duplicate members.
• Tuple is a collection which is ordered and
unchangeable. Allows duplicate members.
• Set is a collection which is unordered and
unindexed. No duplicate members.
• Dictionary is a collection which is unordered,
changeable and indexed. No duplicate members.
Lists
 A list is a collection which is ordered and
changeable.

 Allows duplicate members.

 In Python lists are written with square brackets.


Creating a List
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim', 'z', 'example']
>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim', 'z', 'example']
>>> a_list[0]
'a‘
>>> a_list[4]
'example‘
>>> a_list[-1]
'example‘
>>> a_list[-3]
'mpilgrim'
Slicing a List
>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim', 'z', 'example']

>>> a_list[2]
'mpilgrim‘

>>> a_list[1:3]
['b', 'mpilgrim']

>>> a_list[1:-1]
['b', 'mpilgrim', 'z']
a_list=['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim', 'z', 'example']

>>> a_list[0:3] >>> a_list[-4:-2]


['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim'] ['b', 'mpilgrim']
>>> a_list[3:] >>> a_list[-2:-4]
['z', 'example'] []

>>> a_list[:] >>> a_list[-2:]


['a', 'b', 'mpilgrim', 'z', 'example'] ['z', 'example']

>>> a_list[3:3] >>> a_list[-2:2]


[] []
Adding item to a List
>>> a_list = ['a']
>>> a_list = a_list + [2.0, 3] ①
>>> a_list ②
['a', 2.0, 3]

>>> a_list.append(True) ③
>>> a_list
['a', 2.0, 3, True]

>>> a_list.extend(['four', 'Ω']) ④


>>> a_list
['a', 2.0, 3, True, 'four', 'Ω']

>>> a_list.insert(0, 'Ω') ⑤


>>> a_list
['Ω', 'a', 2.0, 3, True, 'four', 'Ω']
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> a_list.extend(['d', 'e', 'f']) ①
>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']

>>> len(a_list) ② >>> a_list.append(['g', 'h', 'i']) ③


6 >>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', ['g', 'h', 'i']]
>>> a_list[-1]
'f' >>> len(a_list) ④
7

>>> a_list[-1]
['g', 'h', 'i']
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> a_list.append('g', 'h', 'i')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: append() takes exactly one argument (3 given)

>>> a_list.append(['g', 'h', 'i'])


>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'c', ['g', 'h', 'i']]

>>> a_list[-1] >>> a_list[-1][1]


['g', 'h', 'i'] 'h'
Searching For Values In A List
 count(), in, not in, index()
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'new', 'mpilgrim', 'new']
>>> a_list.count('new')
2

>>> 'new' in a_list


True

>>> 'c' in a_list


False

>>> 'c' not in a_list


False
>>> a_list.index('mpilgrim')
3
>>> a_list.index('new')
2
>>> a_list.index('c')
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list
Removing Items From A List
 del, remove(), pop(), clear()
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'new', 'mpilgrim', 'new']
>>> a_list[1]
'b'

>>> del a_list[1] ①


>>> a_list
['a', 'new', 'mpilgrim', 'new']

>>> a_list[1] ②
'new'
remove()
>>> a_list.remove('new') ①
>>> a_list
['a', 'mpilgrim', 'new']

>>> a_list.remove('new') ②
>>> a_list
['a', 'mpilgrim']

>>> a_list.remove('new')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: list.remove(x): x
not in list
pop()
>>>a_list
['a', 'b', 'new', 'mpilgrim']

>>> a_list.pop() ①
'mpilgrim'

>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'new']

>>> a_list.pop(1) ②
'b'

>>> a_list
['a', 'new']
>>> a_list.pop()
'new'
>>> a_list.pop()
'a'
>>> a_list.pop() ③
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: pop from empty list
clear()
>>>a_list
['a', 'b', 'new', 'mpilgrim']

>>> a_list.clear()
>>> a_list
[]

>>> del a_list


>>> a_list
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'a_list' is not defined
Other operations
>>> a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> a_list.reverse()
>>> a_list
['c', 'b', 'a']

>>> a_list.reverse()
>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'c']
sort()
>>> a_list = ['a', 'd', 'h','e','b']
>>> a_list.sort()
>>> a_list
['a', 'b', 'd', 'e', 'h']

>>> a_list = ['8', '6', '-2','3','4']


>>> a_list.sort()
>>> a_list
['-2', '3', '4', '6', '8']
List Methods
• append() Adds an element at the end of the list
• extend() Add the elements of a list (or any iterable), to the end of the current list
• insert() Adds an element at the specified position
• remove() Removes the first item with the specified value
• del() Deletes an item, or list.
• pop() Removes the element at the specified position
• reverse() Reverses the order of the list
• 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
• sort() Sorts the list
