# Content title and sections


title = "📝 Complete Python List Notes – Deep Dive"
sections = [
("1. What is a List?",
"A list is a mutable, ordered, and indexable collection in Python. "
"It can store heterogeneous (mixed) data types including numbers, strings,
booleans, other lists, and even functions or objects.\n"
"Example:\nmy_list = [1, \"hello\", 3.14, True, [5, 6]]"),

("2. Key Properties of a List",


"Ordered – Maintains insertion order (Python 3.7+)\n"
"Mutable – You can change, add, or delete items\n"
"Indexed – Supports both positive and negative indexing\n"
"Heterogeneous – Can hold mixed data types\n"
"Iterable – Can be looped over with for or comprehensions"),

("3. List Creation",


"a = []\nb = list()\nc = list(\"abc\")\nd = [1, 2, 3]\ne = [0] * 5\nf = [1,
[2, 3], [4, [5, 6]]]"),

("4. Accessing List Elements",


"l = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']\nprint(l[0]) → 'a'\nprint(l[-1]) → 'd'\
nprint(l[1:3]) → ['b', 'c']"),

("5. Updating List Elements",


"l[1] = 'z' → ['a', 'z', 'c', 'd']"),

("6. List Methods – Add/Insert/Remove",


"Add:\nl.append(3), l.insert(1, 'a'), l.extend([4,5])\n"
"Remove:\nl.remove(2), l.pop(0), del l[1], l.clear()"),

("7. Slicing Lists",


"l = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g']\n"
"l[1:5], l[::-1], l[::2], l[-2:-6:-1]"),

("8. Looping Techniques",


"for i in l: print(i)\nfor i in range(len(l)): print(l[i])\nfor i, val in
enumerate(l): print(i, val)"),

("9. List Comprehension",


"squares = [x**2 for x in range(5)]\nevens = [x for x in range(10) if x % 2 ==
0]"),

("10. Exception Handling",


"IndexError – list index out of range\nValueError – remove/index value not
found\nTypeError – invalid operations"),

("11. List vs Tuple",


"Mutable: List ✅ / Tuple ❌\nSyntax: [ ] vs ( )\nPerformance: List is slower\
nUse-case: List for dynamic, Tuple for fixed"),
("12. Nested Lists",
"l = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]\nprint(l[1][0]) → 3"),

("13. Identity vs Equality",


"a is b – True (same object)\na == b – True (same content)\na is c – False
(copy)\na == c – True"),

("14. Memory Optimization Tip",


"Use generators or array module for large data sets over lists."),

("15. Real-World Use Cases",


"- Dynamic storage (cart, tasks)\n- Stack/Queue\n- Matrix\n- CSV/database
rows\n- Batch slicing"),

("✅ Interview Quick Crux",


"- Mutable, index-based, ordered\n- append() vs extend()\n- remove() vs pop()\
n- Slicing with steps\n"
"- Shallow vs Deep copy\n- List comprehension\n- Handle IndexError &
ValueError")
