 Arrays
Arrays are a data structure which can store multiple
values, however, all of the data must be of the same data
type.

Arrays are static data structures meaning it can not

GROW or SHRINK.

 Arrays & Lists
• A list is also a data structure that stores multiple
values, under 1 identifier.

• However, the data can be of DIFFERENT data types.

• A list can grow and shrink.

• The way you create a list in python is exactly the same

as an Array using [ ]

However, if it grows or shrinks while the program is

running, it means it’s a list.

 Lists
Append means adding something to the end.
#Creates an empty list/array called numbers.
numbers = [ ]
#Loops 4 times.
for x in range(4):
#Ask the user for a number
num = int(input("Enter a number"))
#Adds the number to the end of the list.
numbers.append(num)

#Displays the list

print(numbers)

Lists
Empty list

Adds the name to the

end of the list

 Methods that can be applied to arrays
Method Description
append() Adds an element at the end of the list
clear() Removes all the elements from the list
copy() Returns a copy of the list
count() Returns the number of elements with the specified value

extend() Add the elements of a list (or any iterable), to the end of the current
list
index() Returns the index of the first element with the specified value

insert() Adds an element at the specified position

pop() Removes the element at the specified position

remove() Removes the first item with the specified value

reverse() Reverses the order of the list

sort() Sorts the list

• Liverpool = [55,65,75,65,78,45,76,66,98,102]
• ManCity = [52,61,85,75,68,65,96,86,99,85]
• The above 2 arrays shows the points earned by 2 teams at the end of each season over 10 years.
Write an algorithm that:
• Adds together all the number in each array (Liverpool and ManCity) and store them in separate variables.
• Displays the total points earned by each team over 10 years.
• Then displays which team has the highest number of points over 10 years or whether they have the same
number of points.

157. A teacher wants to store student names in a list. He wants 2 separate lists, 1 for males and 1 for
females. Create a program that:
• Ask the user how many students are in his class.
• Asks for the name of each student.
• Ask if the student is male or female.
• Stores the names of the students in a list, male students in a list called male and female students in a
list called female.
• Displays both lists at the end of the program.
