Study Notes
Lists
- Lists are ordered collections in Python that can hold items of different data types.
- Key operations include creating lists, accessing elements, slicing, and using negative indices for indexing.
- Essential methods include
append(),extend(),insert(),remove(),pop(), and list comprehensions for creating new lists from existing lists.
Tuples
- Tuples are similar to lists but are immutable, meaning they cannot be changed after creation.
- They can be created using parentheses
(), and elements can be accessed through indexing and slicing. - Operations on tuples generally include concatenation, repetition, and membership testing.
Dictionary
- Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs, providing fast lookups and retrieval via keys.
- Methods include creating dictionaries, adding new entries, modifying existing ones, and removing items.
- Operations typically involve checking for keys, iterating through keys and values, and utilizing
get()for safe retrieval.
Sets
- Sets are unordered collections that hold unique elements, created using curly braces
{}or theset()function. - Key operations include adding elements, removing elements, and performing mathematical set operations like union, intersection, and difference.
- Sets are useful for eliminating duplicates and membership testing.
