To create empty list:
List1 = [ ]
Some other examples of the list are given as follows:
To create list of 4 integer elements: L1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
To create list of characters: L1 = [’a’, ’b’, ’c’]
To create list of 3 strings: L1 = [“Nikhil”, “Dikshant”, “Jatin”]
To create list of integer and float numbers: L1 = [1, 1.5, 2.5, 7]
To create list with mixed data types: L1 = [7, “Hello”, 3.14]
Program 11: To print the different types of lists.
On running the above program, you will get the following output:
Modifying the List Element
Lists are mutable, which means you can change the elements after the list is created without creating
a new space for storage of the changed list. You can do this by using an assignment operator (=).
Program 12: To change the elements of a list.
Traversing a List
Traversing means accessing or visiting the elements of a list. Two ways to traverse a list are positive
indexing and negative indexing.
Index with positive integers: Index from left starts with 0.
Index with negative integers: Index from right starts with -1.
Syntax for traversing a list:
<name of the list>[index]
