Functions of list ¶
1. append()
We can use append() to add item at the end of list.
syntax:
list_name.append(item)
In [6]:
lst = []
lst.append(100)
lst.append(200)
print(lst)
[100, 200]
In [5]:
lst1 = [1,2,3,4]
lst1.append(5)
lst1.append(6)
print(lst1)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
In [8]:
lst3 =[]
for i in range(1,101):
if i % 10 ==0:
lst3.append(i)
print(lst3)
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]
In [9]:
list1 = [1,2,3,4]
list2 = [5,6,7,8]
list1.append(list2)
print(list1)
[1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6, 7, 8]]
In [16]:
list1[4][:3]
Out[16]:
[5, 6, 7]
2. insert()
To insert item at specific index position in list.
syntax:
list_name.insert(index,value)
In [2]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.insert(3,100)
list1
Out[2]:
[1, 34, 55, 100, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [3]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.insert(6,100)
list1
Out[3]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6, 100]
In [4]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.insert(20,300)
list1
Out[4]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6, 300]
In [5]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.insert(-20,300)
list1
Out[5]:
[300, 1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [7]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.insert(-2,300)
list1
Out[7]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 300, 3, 5.6]
3. extend()
To add all items of one sequence to list
syntax:
list_name.extend(sequence/list)
In [8]:
list1 = [1,2,3,4]
list2 = [5,6,7,8]
list1.extend(list2)
list1
Out[8]:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
In [9]:
str1 = 'Python'
list1 = [1,2,3,4]
list1.extend(str1)
list1
Out[9]:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 'P', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n']
4. remove()
We can use this function to remove specified element from list.
If item is present multiple times in list, then only first occurence will be removed.
If item not found in list then it will give error.
syntax:
list_name.remove(item)
In [12]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
print(list1)
list1.remove(55)
print(list1)
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]
[1, 34, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [13]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6,10]
print(list1)
list1.remove(10)
print(list1)
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6, 10]
[1, 34, 55, 3, 5.6, 10]
In [14]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
print(list1)
list1.remove(550)
print(list1)
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]

----> 4 list1.remove(550)
5 print(list1)
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
5. pop ()
It is also used for remove items from list, but it will remove last item only and only this function, return
removed value.
syntax:
list_name.pop()
In [16]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.pop()
Out[16]:
5.6
In [17]:
list1
Out[17]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3]
In [18]:
list1.pop()
Out[18]:
In [19]:
list1
Out[19]:
[1, 34, 55, 10]
In [20]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.pop(2)
Out[20]:
55
6. clear()
We can use it to remove all items from list
syntax:
list_name.clear()
In [21]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list1.clear()
list1
Out[21]:
[]
7. Copy()
It will copy all items from one list to another
syntax:
list1 = list2.copy
In [40]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list2 = list1.copy() ## Deep Copy
list2
Out[40]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [41]:
list2.remove(10)
In [42]:
list1
Out[42]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [43]:
list1 = [1,34,55,10,3,5.6]
list2 = list1 # shadow copy, it will copy address
list2
Out[43]:
[1, 34, 55, 10, 3, 5.6]
In [44]:
list2.remove(10)
In [45]:
list1
Out[45]:
[1, 34, 55, 3, 5.6]
Shallow copy :
- The changes made in the copied object also reflected in original obje
ct.
- In shallow copy ,a copy of original object is stored and only the ref
erence address is finally copied.
Deep copy :
- There is no reflection on the original object when the changes are ma
de in the copied object.
- In deep copy ,a copy of original object and the repitative copies bot
h are stored.
8. reverse()
We can use to reverse the order of elements in list.
syntax:
list_name.reverse()
In [46]:
list1 = [1,2,3,4,5,6,'FUEL',12.4,5]
list1.reverse()
list1
Out[46]:
[5, 12.4, 'FUEL', 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
9. sort()
For sorting elements in list
It will do ascending as well as descending sorting.
Syntax:
list_name.sort(reverse = True / False)
In [47]:
list1 = [1,2,4,5,3,2,1,7,4,5,9,3,4,8]
list1.sort()
list1
Out[47]:
[1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9]
In [48]:
list1 = [1,2,4,5,3,2,1,7,4,5,9,3,4,8]
list1.sort(reverse = True)
list1
Out[48]:
[9, 8, 7, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1]
