lists in lists python code example

Example 1: python list

#Creating lists
my_list = ['foo', 4, 5, 'bar', 0.4]
my_nested_list = ['foobar', ['baz', 'qux'], [0]]

#Accessing list values
my_list[2] # 5
my_list[-1] # 0.4
my_list[:2] # ['foo', 4, 5]
my_nested_list[2] # ['baz', 'quz']
my_nested_list[-1] # [0]
my_nested_list[1][1] # 'qux'

#Modifying lists
my_list.append(x) # append x to end of list
my_list.extend(iterable) # append all elements of iterable to list
my_list.insert(i, x) # insert x at index i
my_list.remove(x) # remove first occurance of x from list
my_list.pop([i]) # pop element at index i (defaults to end of list)
my_list.clear() # delete all elements from the list
my_list.index(x[, start[, end]]) # return index of element x
my_list.count(x) # return number of occurances of x in list
my_list.reverse() # reverse elements of list in-place (no return)
my_list.sort(key=None, reverse=False) # sort list in-place
my_list.copy() # return a shallow copy of the list

Example 2: python list and list

a = ['apple', 'banana', 'pear']
b = ['fridge', 'stove', 'banana']

a & b == ['banana'] #True

Example 3: a list inside a list python

board = []    
for i in range(6): # create a list with nested lists
    board.append([])
    for n in range(6):
        board[i].append("O") # fills nested lists with data

Example 4: list inside a list in python

# it appends a list into a list
list1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
list1.append([6,7])
# ouput = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [6, 7]]
