What we have learnt
- Lists are ordered and mutable collections that can hold items of any data type.
- Indexing allows access to elements, while methods exist for updating and deleting items.
- Looping through lists can be done using both for and while loops.
Key Concepts
- -- List
- An ordered, changeable collection of items in Python, which can contain elements of any data type.
- -- Indexing
- The method of accessing elements in a list using their position, starting from 0 for the first element.
- -- List Methods
- Functions that can be called on lists, like 'append()', 'remove()', and 'pop()', to manipulate list contents.
- -- Nested Lists
- Lists that contain other lists, allowing the representation of multi-dimensional data such as matrices.
