Study Notes

List Manipulation in Python

  • Use the del statement to remove an item from a list by specifying its index.
  • Example of del list[index] operates directly on the list by removing the element located at that specific index.

Sequence Data Types

  • Two key examples of sequence data types in Python are:
    • Lists: Mutable sequences that can hold a collection of items.
    • Tuples: Immutable sequences that can store a collection of items but cannot be changed after creation.

Clearing Lists

  • The clear() method is utilized to remove all items from a list, resulting in an empty list.

Removing Items with Return Values

  • The pop() method removes an item from a list at a given index and returns its value.
  • If no index is specified, pop() removes and returns the last item in the list.

Reference Errors After Deletion

  • An error occurs when attempting to reference a variable after it has been deleted using the del statement, leading to a NameError indicating that the variable is not defined.
