Lists: Declaration
 A List object is the most general sequence provided by Python
 List can be defined using [] or list()
 Eg: l = list() or a = []
# List of grocery items
l = list([‘Apple’,’Orange’]), l= [‘Apple’,’Orange’]

 List is defined using comma separated values between square brackets


 The values are called items or elements of the list
 Elements can be of any datatype
 Eg: # List of item with available quantity, price etc
l = [‘Apple’,2,300.20,4+5j]
Lists: Mutability
 A List is mutable, i.e its elements can be modified
 Eg: l = [‘Apple’,’Orange’,’Grapes’,’Avocado’]
 What is result of l[0] = ‘Alphonso’?
 What is result of l[0] += ‘\tMango’?

 List is an ordered collection of arbitrary objects


 Check Indexing and Type
 Eg: l[2],l[-2],l[6]

 Check Length
 Check +,*, in
Lists: Nesting and Comprehension
 Nesting of Lists
 Eg: A matrix, m = [[11,12,13],[21,22,23],[31,32,33]]
 Indexing, Slicing with nested lists
 Eg: m[0], m[0][0],
m[0][1], m[1][0]
m[1][-1], m[-1][-1]

 List comprehension provides a concise way to apply operations on sequential values


 Eg: l = [x for x in range(6)]
l = [x**2 for x in range(11) if x%2 == 0]
# From our previous list of groceries, how to select all items starting with ‘A’?
Lists: Slicing and Iterations
 Slicing operations are available for Lists as well
 Eg: l = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
 What is result of l[:]
l[::]
l[::2]
l[::-1]

 How to sequentially iterate through all elements in a list?


 for item in list:
operation on item
Lists: Adding Elements
 Lists can grow and shrink on demand while preserving the order
 Three methods are available: append(item), extend(iterable), insert(index,item)
 Eg: l = [1,2,3]
l.append(‘4’)# Add one item to the end of list

 insert(index, item): l.insert(0,0) # Add one item to a specific location in list

 extend(iterable): l.extend([4,5,6]) # Add multiple items to end of list in order

 l.append([‘4’,’5’,’6’]) vs l.extend([‘4’,’5’,’6’])
Lists: Removing Elements
 Lists can grow and shrink on demand while preserving the order
 Three methods are available: pop(index), remove(item), del list[index]
 Eg: l = [1,2,3]

 pop(index): l.pop(0) # Remove one item at specified index and return the item
l.pop() # Remove one item from end of list (-1) and return the item
 remove(item): l.remove(‘1’) # Remove a specific item based on value
 What is multiple elements have same value or if no element has the value?
 del list[index]: del l[2] # Remove a specific item from list based on location
del l # Removes the list ‘l’
Lists: Extended Operations
 clear(): Remove all items from list and make it empty
Eg: l=[1,2,3]
l.clear()

 count(item): Returns count of specified item


Eg: l.count(2)

 reverse(): Reverses the list


Eg: l.reverse()

 index(item,start,stop): Same as strings, returns index of first instance


Eg: l.index(2)
Lists: Sorting
 sort(key,reverse): Sorts the list items based on key function and reverse=True/False
Eg: l = [-2,-1,0,1,2,3]
l.sort()
l.sort(reverse=True)
l.sort(key=abs)
l.sort(key=abs,reverse=True)

 sorted(list,key,reverse): Returns sorted list without modifying the original


Eg: l1 = sorted(l,key=abs,reverse=True)

 Self Study: sum(l), max(l), min(l), any(l), all(l), zip(l1,l2)


 For example, sum of number upto N -> sum(range(N+1)) # single line code
