Lists Lists are ordered, mutable (changeable) sequences of items. They can contain items of different data types.

Creating Lists:

my_list = 1, 2, "hello", 3.14, True]]
empty_list = 1

Accessing Elements: Lists are zero-indexed.

first_element = my_list[0]]  # 1
last_element = my_list[-1 # True

Slicing:

sub_list = my_list1:4  # 2, "hello", 3.14 (exclusive of upper bound)

Methods:

• append(item): Adds an item to the end.
• insert(index, item): Inserts an item at a specific index.
• remove(item): Removes the first occurrence of an item.
• pop([index]]): Removes and returns the item at the specified index (default is the last).
• index(item): Returns the index of the first occurrence of an item.
• count(item): Counts the occurrences of an item.
• sort(): Sorts the list in place.
• reverse(): Reverses the list in place.
• copy(): Creates a shallow copy of the list.
• extend(iterable): Extends the list by appending elements from another iterable.

my_list.append(5)
my_list.insert(2, "world")
my_list.remove("hello")
print(my_list)  # Output will depend on previous operations.

List Comprehensions: List Comprehension

Iterating through Lists:

for item in my_list:
    print(item)

for i, item in enumerate(my_list):
    print(f"Item at index {i}: {item}")

List Operations:

• Concatenation: list1 + list2
• Repetition: list * n
• Membership: item in list, item not in list

Nested Lists: Multidimensional Lists
