                 You will get the following output:















                        LIST


                 A list is a sequence of multiple values in a specific order. In a list, each element or value is called an

                 item. A list is mutable, which means the items in a list can be modified by assigning new values. It
                 is heterogeneous in nature, which means a list can contain numeric as well as textual data. In this
                 chapter, you will learn about creating a list, operations performed on the list and the functions of the
                 list.

                      Creating a List

                 Python uses lists to store different kinds of data in specific order. Because Python lists are changeable
                 types, we can change their elements after they’ve been generated.
                 To create a list, you need to place all the elements separated by a comma inside a square bracket [
                 ]. The list can contain any number of elements of different data types such as integer, float, character
                 and so on.
