Study Notes
Introducing Lists
- A list is an ordered sequence of elements that can be modified (mutable).
- Lists can contain elements of different data types (integers, floats, strings, tuples, other lists)
- Elements are enclosed in square brackets
[]and separated by commas. - Example:
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12]is a list of six even numbers.
Accessing List Elements
- Each element in a list has an index, starting from 0 for the first element.
- Use square brackets
[]with the desired index to access an element. - Example:
list1[0]returns the first element,list1[3]returns the fourth element. - Negative indices can be used to access elements from the end of the list.
list1[-1]returns the last element.
