What to Focus On

  • Lists are ordered and mutable.
  • List elements are written in square brackets.
  • A list can hold mixed data types.
  • Slicing extracts a sublist.
  • The stop index is exclusive.
  • Missing start or stop values default to the list ends.
  • append() adds one item at the end.
  • append() can create nesting if a list is added.
  • extend() adds items individually.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

append() and extend() do the same thing because both add new data to a list.

remove() and pop() both delete an element in the same way, so the difference does not matter.

The method for finding the index of an element is find() for lists.

Memory Tips

List basics: ordered, mutable sequence with elements in square brackets

List indexing starts at 0

Negative indices access elements from the end

Out-of-range list index raises IndexError
