Lists
Informatics Practices
Class XI ( As per CBSE Board)
It is a collections of items and each item has its own
index value.
Index of first item is 0 and the last item is n-1.Here
n is number of items in a list.
Indexing of list
Creating a list
Lists are enclosed in square brackets [ ] and each item is
separated by a comma.
Initializing a list
Passing value in list while declaring list is initializing of a list
e.g.
list1 = [‘English', ‘Hindi', 1997, 2000]
list2 = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55]
list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
Blank list creation
A list can be created without element
List4= [ ]
Access Items from A List
List items can be accessed using its index position.
e.g.
list = [3,5,9]
print(list[0]) 3
print(list[1]) 5
print(list[2]) 9
print('Negative indexing') output Negative indexing
print(list[-1]) 9
5
print(list[-2]) 3
print(list[-3])
Iterating/Traversing Through A List
List elements can be accessed using looping statement.
e.g.
list =[3,5,9]
for i in range(0, len(list)):
print(list[i])
Output
3
5
9
Slicing of A List
List elements can be accessed in subparts.
e.g.
list =['I','N','D','I','A']
print(list[0:3])
print(list[3:])
print(list[:])
Output
['I', 'N', 'D']
['I', 'A']
['I', 'N', 'D', 'I', 'A']
Updating / Manipulating Lists
We can update single or multiple elements of lists by giving
the slice on the left-hand side of the assignment operator.
e.g.
list = ['English', 'Hindi', 1997, 2000]
print ("Value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
list[2:3] = 2001,2002 #list[2]=2001 for single item update
print ("New value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
print ("New value available at index 3 : ", list[3])
Output
('Value available at index 2 : ', 1997)
('New value available at index 2 : ', 2001)
('New value available at index 3 : ', 2002)
Add Item to A List
append() method is used to add an Item to a List.
e.g.
list=[1,2]
print('list before append', list)
list.append(3)
print('list after append', list)
Output
('list before append', [1, 2])
('list after append', [1, 2, 3])
NOTE :- extend() method can be used to add multiple item at
a time in list.eg - list.extend([3,4])
Add Item to A List
append() method is used to add an Item to a List.
e.g.
list=[1,2]
print('list before append', list)
list.append(3)
print('list after append', list)
Output
('list before append', [1, 2])
('list after append', [1, 2, 3])
OUTPUT
[1,2,3,4]
Delete Item From A List
e.g.
list=[1,2,3]
print('list before delete', list)
del list [1]
print('list after delete', list)
Output
e.g.
del list[0:2] # delete first two items
del list # delete entire list
Basic List Operations
# Driver Code
lst = [15, 9, 55, 41, 35, 20, 62, 49]
average = Average(lst)
Output
Average of the list = 35.75
Note : The inbuilt function mean() can be used to calculate the mean( average ) of
the list.e.g. mean(list)
Some Programs on List
* Linear Search
list_of_elements = [4, 2, 8, 9, 3, 7]
found = False
for i in range(len(list_of_elements)):
if(list_of_elements[i] == x):
found = True
print("%d found at %dth position"%(x,i))
break
if(found == False):
print("%d is not in list"%x)
Some Programs on List
* Frequency of an element in list
import collections
my_list = [101,101,101,101,201,201,201,201]
print("Original List : ",my_list)
ctr = collections.Counter(my_list)
print("Frequency of the elements in the List : ",ctr)
OUTPUT
Original List : [101, 101,101, 101, 201, 201, 201, 201]
Frequency of the elements in the List : Counter({101: 4, 201:4})
