A list in Python is a mutable, ordered collection of items that can store elements of different data types. Lists are defined using square brackets [].

Examples:

My_list = [1, "kaashiv", True]

Output:

[1, 'kaashiv', True]

Features:

  • Elements in a list can be changed, added, or removed
  • Lists can store elements of different data types
  • Lists can grow or shrink in size dynamically

Advantages:      

  • Can store a wide variety of data types
  • Built-in methods like append(), remove(), sort(), and reverse() simplify list manipulation.
  • No need to predefine the size of the list

Uses:      

  • Storing collections of items, such as a list of numbers, strings, or objects.
  • Organizing data by sorting or filtering elements based on specific criteria.
  • Implement stack (LIFO) or queue (FIFO) data structures using lists.
