Highlights from this chapter include:
- Lists are mutable and can be easily modified by using
append()
,remove()
, andpop()
operations. - Lists are iterable and can be iterated using an iterator or element indexes.
- The
sort()
operation arranges the elements of a list in ascending order if all elements of the list are of the same type. - The
reverse()
operation reverses a list. - The
copy()
method is used to create a copy of a list. - Lists have built-in functions for finding the maximum, minimum, and summation of a list for lists with only numeric values.
- Lists can be nested to represent multidimensional data.
- A list comprehension is a compact way of creating a new list, which can be used to filter items from an existing list.
At this point, you should be able to write programs using lists.
