Working with lists in python

Working with python means basic three operations on lists i.e. appending, updating and deleting elements in list.

Appending elements to a list:-

It means adding elements at the end of the list. We can do this with the help of a function append().

e.g.,

a=[10, 12, 22, 26]
a.append(30)
print(a)
Output- [10,12,22,26,30]

Updating elements to a list:-

To update or change an element in a list in place, we have to assign new value to the element’s index in the list.

e.g.,

a=[10, 12, 16, 20, 24]
a[2]=18
print(a)
Output- [10, 12, 18, 20, 24]

Deleting elements from a list:-

For deleting elements from a list we use del() function in python. We write the index of the element we have to delete in bracket and then delete it.

e.g.,

a=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
del a[3]
print(a)
Output- [1, 2, 3, 5, 6]

This is all about working with lists in python.
