                            Recap


                            A list is a collection of data elements in a specific order.

                            Traversing means accessing or visiting the elements of a list.
                            A nested list can be traversed by using the index operator.

                            Negative indexing starts from the index of -1, which is the last element of the list: the index of -2
                          refers to the second last element.
                            Lists are mutable, which means the elements of a list can be changed or new elements can be
                          added to a list by using an assignment operator (=).

                            The various built-in list methods are: append ( ), extend( ), insert(x, a), remove( ), index( ), count( ),
                          pop([i]), copy( ), clear( ), sort( ), reverse( ).

                            The various built-in list functions are len(list), max (list) and min(list).

                            Joining,  repeating, slicing  and  comparing lists are some of the  several operations that can be
                          performed on lists.



                                                 Assess Yourself



                      Choose the correct option.


                      1.  Identify the list function used to remove the first element from the list.
                                a. pop()                                      b. delete()


                                c. remove()                                   d. clear()

                      2.  Lists in python are created in            brackets.

                                a. { }                                        b. [ ]

                                c. ( )                                        d. < >
