Python Lists
To create a list, place comma-separated values inside square brackets []
, or convert an iterable (like a string
, set
, or tuple
) using list()
. For example, you can create a list with details about the USA (country name, land area, and population).
12345# Creating list information = ["USA", 9629091, 331002651] # Printing list print(information)
Accessing list elements is similar to accessing characters in a string. You can do this using indexing and slicing.
To retrieve the land area and population from US_Info
, target the second (index 1
) and third (index 2
) items. Use slicing with a colon :
to specify the start and end positions. The upper limit of a slice is excluded, so use [1:3]
to retrieve these two elements.
12345# Getting area and population information = ["USA", 9629091, 331002651] # Printing list print(information[1:3])
