(1)LIST:

Lists are a collection of data types that are ordered and mutable.

1.Storing variables in a list:

In lists, we first create a variable to store the whole list which is in square brackets[],

in which we store string values, integers. etc and store that list in the variable called mylist.

for example: mylist = [“banana”, “apple”, “cherry”]

2.Empty lists:

Empty lists are that lists which do not contain any string values, integers or any other elements.

for example: mylist2 = list()

3.Accessing an element from the list:

To access an element from the list we can use integers to access a specific element from that list,

In which 1st number can be accessed by the integer 0 and the second element can be accessed by the integer 1 and so on.

We can also use negative integers to access an element from the last element.

4.Checking for an element or for the number of element:

To check for an element you can set a if condition :

for example:

mylist = [“banana”, “apple”, “cherry”]

if “banana” in mylist:

print(“yes”)

else:

print(“no”)

output = yes

To check for number of elements you can use the function ‘len’

for example :

mylist = [“banana”, “apple”, “cherry”]

print(len(mylist))

output = 3

5.How to add,remove,reverse,sort.etc elements in the list:

add:

To add an element to the list you can use ‘append’.To use append first write the name of your list then type append(the element you want to add)

for example :

mylist.append(“lemon”)

To add an element at a spcific position you can use ‘insert’

for example:

mylist.insert(1,
