List

A list in Python is a collection of items where each item has an index. Items in a list can be accessed using their index, iterated through using a for loop, sliced, updated, appended to, and deleted. Common list operations include concatenation, membership testing, indexing, slicing, and built-in methods like append(), pop(), sort(), and len(). Lists are useful for storing collections of homogeneous or heterogeneous data and allow efficient insertion/deletion of items.

List

LIST
It is a collections of items and each item has its own
index value.
Index of first item is 0 and the last item is n-1.Here
n is number of items in a list.

Indexing of list
LIST

Creating a list
Lists are enclosed in square brackets [ ] and each item is
separated by a comma.
Initializing a list
Passing value in list while declaring list is initializing of a list
e.g.
list1 = [‘English', ‘Hindi', 1997, 2000]
list2 = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55 ]
list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
Blank list creation
A list can be created without element
List4=[ ]
LIST

Access Items From A List


List items can be accessed using its index position.
e.g.
list =[3,5,9]
print(list[0]) 3
5
print(list[1]) 9
output Negative indexing
print(list[2]) 9
5
print('Negative indexing') 3
print(list[-1])
print(list[-2])
print(list[-3])
LIST

Iterating/Traversing Through A List


List elements can be accessed using looping statement.
e.g.

list =[3,5,9]
for i in range(0, len(list)):
print(list[i])

Output
3
5
9
LIST

Slicing of A List
List elements can be accessed in subparts.

e.g.
list =['I','N','D','I','A']
print(list[0:3])
print(list[3:])
print(list[:])

Output
['I', 'N', 'D']
['I', 'A']
['I', 'N', 'D',
'I', 'A']
LIST
Updating / Manipulating Lists
We can update single or multiple elements of lists by giving
the slice on the left-hand side of the assignment operator.
e.g.
list = ['English', 'Hindi', 1997, 2000]
print ("Value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
list[2:3] = 2001,2002 #list[2]=2001 for single item update
print ("New value available at index 2 : ", list[2])
print ("New value available at index 3 : ", list[3])
Output
('Value available at index 2 : ', 1997)
('New value available at index 2 : ', 2001)
('New value available at index 3 : ',
2002)
LIST

Add Item to A List


append() method is used to add an Item to a List.

e.g.
list=[1,2]
print('list before append', list)
list.append(3)
print('list after append', list)
Output
('list before append', [1, 2])
('list after append', [1, 2, 3])
NOTE :- extend() method can be used to add multiple item at
a time in list.eg - list.extend([3,4])
LIST
Add Item to A List
append() method is used to add an Item to a List.

e.g.
list=[1,2]
print('list before append', list)
list.append(3)
print('list after append', list)
Output
('list before append', [1, 2])
('list after append', [1, 2, 3])

NOTE :- extend() method can be used to add multiple item at


a time in list.eg - list.extend([3,4])
LIST
Add Two Lists
e.g.
list = [1,2]
list2 = [3,4]
list3 = list + list2
print(list3)

OUTPUT
[1,2,3,4]
LIST
Delete Item From A List
e.g.
list=[1,2,3]
print('list before delete', list)
del list [1]
print('list after delete', list)

Output

('list before delete', [1, 2, 3])


('list after delete', [1, 3])

e.g.
del list[0:2] # delete first two items
del list # delete entire list
LIST
Basic List Operations

Python Expression Results Description

len([4, 2, 3]) 3 Length


[4, 2, 3] + [1, 5, 6] [4, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6] Concatenation
[‘cs!'] * 4 ['cs!', 'cs!', 'cs!', 'cs!'] Repetition
3 in [4, 2, 3] True Membership
for x in [4,2,3] : 423 Iteration
print (x,end = ' ')
LIST
Important methods and functions of List

list.extend() Add multiple Items at end of a list
list.insert() insert an Item at a defined index
list.remove() remove an Item from a list
del list[index] Delete an Item from a list
list.clear() empty all the list

LIST

Some Programs on List


* find the largest/max number in a list #Using sort
a=[]
n=int(input("Enter number of elements:"))
for i in range(1,n+1):
b=int(input("Enter
element:")) a.append(b)
a.sort()
print("Largest element is:",a[n-
1])
#using function list ):
def max_num_in_list(
definition
max = list[ 0 ] list1, list2 = [123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc'], [456, 700, 200]
print "Max value element : ", max(list1)
for a in list: print "Max value element : ", max(list2)
if a > max: Output
max = a Max value element : zara
return max Max value element : 700
print(max
_num_in_list(
LIST

Some Programs on List


* find the mean of a list
def Average(lst): #finding mean of a
number return sum(lst) / len(lst)

# Driver Code
lst = [15, 9, 55, 41, 35, 20, 62, 49]
average = Average(lst)

# Printing average of the list


print("Average of the list =", round(average, 2))

Output
Average of the list = 35.75
Note : The inbuilt function mean() can be used to calculate the mean( average ) of
the list.e.g. mean(list)
LIST

Some Programs on List


* Linear Search
list_of_elements = [4, 2, 8, 9, 3, 7]

x = int(input("Enter number to search: "))

found = False

for i in range(len(list_of_elements)):
if(list_of_elements[i] == x):
found = True
print("%d found at %dth position"%
(x,i))
break
if(found == False):
print("%d is not in list"%x)
LIST

Some Programs on List


* Frequency of an element in list
import collections
my_list = [101,101,101,101,201,201,201,201]
print("Original List : ",my_list)
ctr = collections.Counter(my_list)
print("Frequency of the
elements in the List : ",ctr)

OUTPUT
Original List : [101, 101,101, 101, 201, 201,
201, 201]
Frequency of the elements in the List :
Counter({101: 4, 201:4})

NOTE :SAME CAN BE DONE USING COUNT
