Python Data Structures List Methods Usage.
Python: list methods usage.
append()
- Adds an element to the end of the list.my_list = [1, 2, 3] my_list.append(4) print(my_list)
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4]
clear()
- Removes all elements from the list.my_list = [1, 2, 3] my_list.clear() print(my_list)
Output:
[]
copy()
- Creates a shallow copy of the list.original_list = [1, 2, 3] copied_list = original_list.copy() print(copied_list)
Output:
[1, 2, 3]
count()
- Returns the number of occurrences of a specified element in the list.my_list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 2] count_of_2 = my_list.count(2) print(count_of_2)
Output:
3
extend()
- Appends the elements of another list to the end of the current list.list1 = [1, 2, 3] list2 = [4, 5, 6] list1.extend(list2) print(list1)
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
index()
- Returns the index of the first occurrence of a specified element.my_list = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4] index_of_2 = my_list.index(2) print(index_of_2)
Output:
1
insert()
- Inserts an element at a specified position.my_list = [1, 2, 3] my_list.insert(1, 4) print(my_list)
Output:
[1, 4, 2, 3]
pop()
- Removes and returns the element at the specified position (default is the last element).my_list = [1, 2, 3] popped_element = my_list.pop(1) print(popped_element) print(my_list)
Output:
2 [1, 3]
remove()
- Removes the first occurrence of a specified element.my_list = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4] my_list.remove(2) print(my_list)
Output:
[1, 3, 2, 4]
reverse()
- Reverses the order of elements in the list.my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4] my_list.reverse() print(my_list)
Output:
[4, 3, 2, 1]
sort()
- Sorts the elements of the list in ascending order (or specified order).my_list = [4, 2, 1, 3] my_list.sort() print(my_list)
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4]
These examples demonstrate the basic usage of each list method in Python.
