empty_list = []

The elements of a list are not restricted to a single data type, which makes sense given that Python is a dynamic

language: 

mixed_list = [1, 'abc', True, 2.34, None] 

A list can contain another list as its element: 

nested_list = [['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3]]

The elements of a list can be accessed via an index, or numeric representation of their position. Lists in Python are

zero-indexed meaning that the first element in the list is at index 0, the second element is at index 1 and so on: 

Indices can also be negative which means counting from the end of the list (-1 being the index of the last element). So, using the list from the above example: 

print(names[-1]) # Eric

print(names[-4]) # Bob 

Lists are mutable, so you can change the values in a list: 

Besides, it is possible to add and/or remove elements from a list:

Append object to end of list with L.append(object), returns None. 

Add a new element to list at a specific index. L.insert(index, object) 

Remove the first occurrence of a value with L.remove(value), returns None 

names.remove("Bob")
print(names) # Outputs ['Alice', 'Nikki', 'Craig', 'Diana', 'Eric', 'Sia'] 

Get the index in the list of the first item whose value is x. It will show an error if there is no such item.

name.index("Alice")
0 

Count length of list 

count occurrence of any item in list

Reverse the list 

Remove and return item at index (defaults to the last item) with L.pop([index]), returns the item 

names.pop() # Outputs 'Sia' 

You can iterate over the list elements like below: 

for element in my_list:

       print (element)
