The most common operations that we can perform on lists include joining lists, replicating lists and slicing lists.

Joining lists:-

The concatenation operator ‘+’, when used with two lists, joins the two lists. The + operator when used with the lists requires that both operands must be of list types.

e.g.,

a=[1, 2, 3, 4]
b=[5, 6, 7, 8]
c=a+b
print(c)

Output- [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Replicating lists:-

We use * operator to replicate a list specified number of times i.e., concatenates multiple copies of the same list.

e.g.,

a=[1, 2, 3, 4]
print(a* 3)

Output- [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4]

Slicing the lists:-

Returns the item at given index in a list. Fetches items in a range specified by the two index operands separated by the colon [:] symbol.

If the first operand is omitted, the range starts at zero index. If the second operand is omitted, the range goes up to the end of the list.

e.g.,

a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
print(a[3:6])
print(a[:7])
print(a[4:])

Output- 
[4,5,6]
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
[5,6,7,8]
