CHAPTER 7 Lists

A list, also known as a linear sequence, is one of the most common ways to organize and access a large amount of data. A list is an ordered collection of items or elements. A single variable identifies each element. This chapter aims to enlighten the reader on Python list creation, manipulation, and operations. Finally, it teaches how to use the built-in list functions and methods in programming.

Learning Objectives

After completing this chapter, the reader will comprehend the context and its associated questions:

Usage of List
Learn to create, access, and use lists in Python
Use built-in methods and functions to manipulate ...
