    LISTS IN PYTHON: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

    In Python, lists are a fundamental data structure used to store collections of items. They are mutable, meaning they can
    be modified after creation. Lists are one of the most versatile and widely used data structures in Python. They are
    mutable, ordered collections that can hold a variety of object types, including integers, strings, and even other lists. This
    flexibility makes lists an essential tool for developers when managing and organizing data.

    Creating Lists

    Lists are created using square brackets [] or the list () function.

    # Using square brackets # Using list() function

    my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] my_list = list((1, 2, 3, 4,


    5))
    LIST OPERATIONS

    INDEXING - Accessing elements by index (0-based). my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    print(my_list[0]) #
    Output: 1

    my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    SLICING - Extracting subsets of elements.
    print(my_list[1:3]) # Output: [2, 3]

    APPEND - Adding elements to the end. my_list = [1, 2, 3]

    my_list.append(4)

    print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

    INSERT - Inserting elements at specific positions.


    my_list = [1, 2, 3]

    my_list.insert(1, 4)

    print(my_list) # Output: [1, 4, 2, 3]


    REMOVE - Removing elements by value my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

    my_list.remove(3)
    .
    print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 4]

    SORT - Sorting elements in ascending order. my_list = [4, 2, 3, 1]

    my_list.sort()
    .
    print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
    LIST METHODS

    EXTEND() : ADDS MULTIPLE ELEMENTS

    POP(): R EMOVES AND RETURNS AN ELEMENT

    INDEX(): R ETURNS THE INDEX OF AN ELEMENT

    COUNT(): R ETURNS THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES

    LIST COMPREHENSIONS

    A CONCISE WAY TO CREATE LISTS. NUMBERS = [X**2 FOR X IN RANGE(5)]


    PRINT(NUMBERS ) # OUTPUT: [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

    CONCLUSION

    Python lists provide an efficient and flexible way to store and manipulate data. Understanding list operations and methods
    is essential for effective programming.
