    Data structure : list


    Python lists :
    ● List is a sequential data structure which has an ordered
    collection of values .
    ● A list is declared by using a pair of square brackets .
    ● Lists are called mutable as the content of a list can be
    modified.
    ● Syntax :
    Listname = [values separated by comma]
    Creating python lists :
    ● We can create empty list as :
    ○ L1 = []
    ○ L1 = list()
    Here , list() is used for creation of an empty list .
    ● Examples :
    L1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
    L1 = [‘a’, ‘b’ , ‘c’ , ‘d’]
    L1 = [1 , ‘abc’ , 23.5 , ‘bokaro’ ]
    Accessing list contents :
    1. By the name of list
    The content of a list can be accessed by its name as
    L1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
    print(L1)
    Output :
    [1,2,3,4,5]
    Accessing list contents :
    2. By indexing of list
    As there is indexing in string, each item of list are also located
    from index 0 onwards.
    L1 = [‘a’ , ‘b’ , ‘c’ , ‘d’]
    print(L1[0])
    print(L1[3])
    Output :
    a
    d
    Accessing list contents :
    3. By slicing of list
    Slicing means accessing a chunk of the list ( a set of consecutive
    items of the list) .
    Syntax :
    Listname [startingvalue : endingvalue ]
    L1 = [ ‘b’ , ‘o’ , ‘k’ , ‘a’ , ‘r’ , ‘o’ ] Output :

    print(L1[0:2]) ['b', 'o']

    print(L1[3:6]) ['a', 'r', 'o']

    print(L1[-4:-1]) ['k', 'a', 'r']

    print(L1[3: ]) ['a', 'r', 'o']


    Modifying list contents :
    ● We can modify a single or multiple contents of the list by using
    the index of list .
    ● For changing single content :
    Listname[ index ] = value
    ● For changing multiple contents (consecutive items) :
    Listname[ starting : ending ] = values separated by comma
    L1 = [ ‘b’ , ‘o’ , ‘k’ , ‘a’ , ‘r’ , ‘o’ ] Output :
    L1[0] = ‘B’ [ ‘B’ , ‘o’ , ‘k’ , ‘a’ , ‘r’ , ‘o’ ]
    print(L1) [ ‘B’ , ‘o’ , ‘k’ , ‘a’ , ‘r’ , ‘OO’ ]
    L1[-1] = ‘OO’ [ ‘B’ , ‘o’ , ‘K’ , ‘A’ , ‘R’ , ‘OO’ ]
    print(L1)
    L1[2:5] = ‘K’ , ‘A’ , ‘R’
    print(L1)
    Adding item in list using append():
    ● We use append() to add an item in the list .
    ● Syntax :
    listname.append(value)
    ● Example :
    L1 = [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘e’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ ]
    L1.append(‘y’)
    print(L1) Output :

    [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘e’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ , ‘y’ ]


    Adding item in list using extend() :
    ● We use extend() to merge a list with other list .
    ● Syntax :
    listname.extend([listvalues])
    ● Example :
    L1 = [‘q’ , ‘w’ ]
    L1.extend([‘e’, ‘r’])
    Output :
    print(L1)
    L1.append([‘t’ , ‘y’]) [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘e’ , ‘r’ ]
    print(L1) [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘e’ , ‘r’ , [‘t’ , ‘y’] ]
    Adding item in list using insert() :
    ● We use insert() to insert the given item at the given index and
    items after it shift forward .
    ● Syntax :
    listname.insert(index , value)
    ● Example :
    L1 = [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ , ‘y’ ]
    L1.insert(2 , ‘e’) Output :
    print(L1)
    [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘e’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ , ‘y’ ]
    Removing item from list :
    ● We use remove() to remove an item from the list . If there are
    two items of same value, it removes the first one.
    ● Syntax :
    listname.remove(value)
    ● Example :
    L1 = [‘q’ , ‘w’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ , ‘y’ ]
    L1.remove(‘w’) Output :
    print(L1)
    [‘q’ , ‘r’ , ‘t’ , ‘y’ ]
    Sorting items of list :
    ● List only with similar type of values can be sorted.
    ● We use sort() to arrange the list items in ascending order .
    ● To sort the list in descending order, we use (reverse=True) .
    ● Syntax :
    listname.sort()
    listname.sort(reverse=True) Output :
    ● Example :
    L1 = [7,3,9,10,2,6] [2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10]
    L1.sort()
    print(L1) [10, 9, 7, 6, 3, 2]
    L1.sort(reverse=True)
    print(L1)
    Reversing items of list :
    ● We use reverse() to reverse the list .
    ● Syntax :
    listname.reverse()
    ● Example : Output :
    L1 = [7,3,9,10,2,6]
    [6, 2, 10, 9, 3, 7]
    L1.reverse()
    print(L1)
    Counting items of list :
    ● We use count() to find out how many times a value
    appears in the list .
    ● Syntax :
    Variable = listname.count(value)
    ● Example :
    L1 = [7,3,9,10,2,6,2,4,2,8,2] Output :
    c = L1.count(2) occurrence of 2 = 4
    print(“occurrence of 2 =”,c)
    Copying a list :
    ● We use copy() to copy one list to another list .
    ● We can copy whole list or a slice of a list .
    ● Syntax :

    list1 = list2.copy()
    list1 = list2[starting:ending].copy()
    list1 = list2[starting:ending]
    L1 = [ ‘I’ , ‘N’ , ‘D’ , ‘I’ , ‘A’ , ‘N’] Output :
    L2 = L1.copy() [ ‘I’ , ‘N’ , ‘D’ , ‘I’ , ‘A’ , ‘N’]
    print(L2) [ ‘I’ , ‘N’ , ‘D’ , ‘I’ , ‘A’ ]
    L3 = L1[0:5].copy() [ ‘I’ , ‘A’ , ‘N’]
    print(L3)
    L4 = L1[-3:-1]
    print(L4)
