List in

Python
List Creation
 List
• In python, a list inPython
can be defined as a collection of
values or items.
• The items in the list are separated with the comma
(,) and
Syntax: with the square brackets [ ].
enclosed
list-var=
[ value1,value2,value3,…. ]
Example: “listdemo.py
L1 = [] ” Output: python
L2 = [123,"python", 3.7] listdemo.py
L3 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] []
L4=["C","Java","Python"] [123, 'python',
print(L1) 3.7] [1, 2, 3, 4,
print(L2) 5, 6]
print(L3) ['C','Java','Python
print(L4) ']
List Indexing

lists starts from 0, i.e. the first element of the list is
stored at the 0th index, the second element of the

 List Indexing cont
inPython …
• Unlike other languages, python provides us the
flexibility to use the negative indexing also. The
negative indices are counted from the right.
• The last element (right most) of the list has the
index -1, its
adjacent left element is present at the index -2 and so
on until
Example:
the left most element is encountered.
mylist=[‘banana’,’apple’,’mango’,’tomato’,’berry
’]

• mylist[- mylist[-4:-
• 1]=”berry” 2]=[“apple”,mango”]

+ concatenate two lists.

It is known as repetition operator. It concatenates

Example:“listopdemo.py”
num=[1,2,3,4,5]
lang=['python','c','java','php’]
print(num + lang) #concatenates two lists
print(num * 2) #concatenates same list 2 times
print(lang[2]) # prints 2nd index value
print(lang[1:4]) #prints values from 1st to 3rd
index. print('cpp' in lang) # prints False
print(6 not in num) # prints True

Output: pythonlistopdemo.p

 How to update or change elements to
• a list?
Python allows us to modify the list items by using
the slice and assignment operator.
•
We can use assignment operator ( = ) to change an
item or a

“listopdemo1.py”
range of items.
num=[1,2,3,4,5] Output: python
print(num) num[2]=30 listopdemo1.py
print(num) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
num[1:3]=[25,36] [1, 2, 30, 4, 5]
print(num) [1, 25, 36, 4, 5]
num[4]="Python" [1, 25, 36, 4,
print(num) 'Python']
 How to delete or remove elements
• from a allows
Python list? us to delete one or more items in a
list by using the del keyword.

Example:
“listopdemo2.py”
num=[1,2,3,4,5]
print(num)
del num[1]
print(num)
del num[1:3]
print(num)
Output:
pythonlistopdemo2.p
y
[1,2, 3, 4, 5]
[1,3, 4, 5]
[1,5]
