Introduction to Lists

Lists are a fundamental data structure in Python, used to store multiple values in a single variable.

Creating Lists

You can create a list by placing values inside square brackets [] and separating them with commas.

# create a list
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
print(fruits)

Indexing Lists

You can access a specific element in a list by its index, which starts from 0.

# access the first element
print(fruits[0])

Slicing Lists

You can extract a subset of elements from a list using slicing.

# slice the list
print(fruits[1:3])

Manipulating Lists

You can add, remove, and modify elements in a list using various methods.

# append an element
fruits.append('orange')
print(fruits)
# remove an element
fruits.remove('banana')
print(fruits)
