The document discusses various methods for manipulating lists in Python, including splitting strings into lists, deleting and adding list elements using methods like del, pop, remove, append, and extend, and sorting lists. It also covers joining lists into strings with join and nested lists, list slicing, and other list operations like filter and +=. Examples are provided to demonstrate the output of each list method.

There are different ways for deleting the elements from a list, I will use del, pop and remove metod:
#del method
del name[4]
print(name)
Output:
['Nasiba', 'Frozan', 'Maliha', 'Sakina']
#pop method
name1=name.pop(3)
print(name)
Output: ['Nasiba', 'Frozan', 'Maliha']
#remove method
name.remove('Maliha')
print(name)
Output: ['Nasiba', 'Frozan']
Sort list
By using sort we can arrange the elements of a list from low to high.
name.sort()
print(name)
Output: ['Frozan', 'Nasiba']
Adding New Words
As there are many ways for deleting of elements from a list, there are also different ways for adding elements into a list, I will use the append, extend and + operator in Python to add words at the end of our list, which I add Bahram, Safa and Razia to my list.
By using join we can concatenate the elements as a string.
delimiter=','
name=delimiter.join(name)
print(name)
Output: Frozan,Maliha,Ahmad,Shadab,Razia
Comment: By using join we can concatenate the elements as a string.
Part 2 #nested list f=['going to study'] a=[f,'tonight'] print(a) Output: [['going to study'], 'tonight'] Comment: A list within another list is nested (Downey, 2015). Inside the output list is two list. Frist is (going to study) and second is (tonight). #the * operator w=['frozan'] print(w*4) Output: ['frozan', 'frozan', 'frozan', 'frozan'] Comment: The * operator repeats a list a given number of times (Downey, 2015). In this case frozan repeated four times. #list slices s=['frozan', 'sakina', 'maliha', 'nasiba'] s[2:]=['hasani'] print(s) Output: ['frozan', 'sakina', 'hasani'] Comment: A segment of a list is known as slices list, we can add or remove element from it. I added hasani instead of nasiba. #the += operator fr=['frozan sakina nasiba'] fr1=['maliha'] fr+=fr1 print(fr) Output: ['frozan sakina nasiba', 'maliha'] Comment: The += operator provides a short way to update a variable (Downey, 2015). I add maliha in my list. # list fliter l=[13, 20, 30, 33, 40, 46, 50] result=list(filter(lambda x:(x%5==0),l)) print(result) Output: [20, 30, 40, 50] Comment: filter selects some of the elements and filters out the others (Downey, 2015). Output shows that it filtered just those number that divisible by 5. # A list operation that is legal but does the "wrong" thing, and not what the programmer expects g=[3, 4, 5] g= g.extend(6) print(g) Output: error Comment: it expected that add 6 at the list, but it won’t. Instead the output shows error. Reference:
