List
Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
Lists are one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3
are Tuple, Set, and Dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.
Lists are created using square brackets:
mylist = ["one", "two", "three"]
Printing List values
print(mylist)
# Demonstration of Lists in Python
# 1. Creating lists
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
mixed = ["hello", 100, 3.14, True]
print("Initial Lists:")
print("Fruits:", fruits)
print("Numbers:", numbers)
print("Mixed:", mixed)
print()
# 2. Accessing elements (indexing and slicing)
print("Accessing elements:")
print("First fruit:", fruits[0]) # indexing
print("Last number:", numbers[-1]) # negative indexing
print("First three numbers:", numbers[0:3]) # slicing
print()
# 3. Adding elements
fruits.append("orange") # add at end
numbers.insert(2, 25) # insert at position
print("After adding elements:")
print("Fruits:", fruits)
print("Numbers:", numbers)
print()
# 4. Removing elements
fruits.remove("banana") # remove by value
removed_number = numbers.pop() # remove last element
print("After removing elements:")
print("Fruits:", fruits)
print("Numbers:", numbers)
print("Removed number:", removed_number)
print()
# 5. Updating elements
fruits[1] = "kiwi"
numbers[0] = 5
print("After updating elements:")
print("Fruits:", fruits)
print("Numbers:", numbers)
print()
# 6. Looping through lists
print("Looping through fruits:")
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)
print()
# 7. List comprehension
squares = [x**2 for x in range(1, 6)]
print("Squares using list comprehension:", squares)
print()
# 8. Sorting and reversing
numbers.sort()
fruits.sort()
print("Sorted numbers:", numbers)
print("Sorted fruits:", fruits)
numbers.reverse()
fruits.reverse()
print("Reversed numbers:", numbers)
print("Reversed fruits:", fruits)
print()
# 9. Nested lists
nested = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
print("Nested list:", nested)
print("Access element 3 from nested list:", nested[1][0])
Expected Outputs
Initial Lists:
Fruits: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
Numbers: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
Mixed: ['hello', 100, 3.14, True]
Accessing elements:
First fruit: apple
Last number: 50
First three numbers: [10, 20, 30]
After adding elements:
Fruits: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange']
Numbers: [10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50]
After removing elements:
Fruits: ['apple', 'cherry', 'orange']
Numbers: [10, 20, 25, 30, 40]
Removed number: 50
After updating elements:
Fruits: ['apple', 'kiwi', 'orange']
Numbers: [5, 20, 25, 30, 40]
Looping through fruits:
apple
kiwi
orange
Squares using list comprehension: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
Sorted numbers: [5, 20, 25, 30, 40]
Sorted fruits: ['apple', 'kiwi', 'orange']
Reversed numbers: [40, 30, 25, 20, 5]
Reversed fruits: ['orange', 'kiwi', 'apple']
Nested list: [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
Access element 3 from nested list: 3
