Working with Lists in Python
Learn how to create, index, slice, and manipulate lists in Python with this step-by-step tutorial.
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.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
print(fruits)
Indexing Lists
You can access a specific element in a list by its index, which starts from 0.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
print(fruits[0])
Slicing Lists
You can extract a subset of elements from a list using slicing.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date', 'elderberry']
print(fruits[1:3])
Manipulating Lists
You can add, remove, and modify elements in a list using various methods.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
fruits.append('date')
print(fruits)
