Python list is similar to array in other programming languages. However, Python list items can be of different type. Python list allows various operations which are very powerful and convenient. List initialization:

>>> x = ["red","green","blue"]
>>> x

["red","green","blue"]

>>> len(x)

3

>>> x = ["red","green","blue", 4, 9]
>>> x

["red","green","blue", 4, 9]

>>> x[0]

'red'

>>> x[2]

'blue'

>>> x[-1]

9

>>> x[1:-1]

['green','blue',4]

>>> x[1:-2]

['green','blue']

>>> x[1] = 7
>>> x

["red", 7, "blue", 4, 9]

>>> x[3] += 2
>>> x

["red","green","blue", 6, 9]

>>> x += [10]
>>> x

["red","green","blue", 6, 9, 10]

>>> x[:3] + ["yellow","gray"]

['red', 7, 'blue', 'yellow', 'gray']

>>> x = ["red",7,"blue", 6, 9, 10]
>>> del x[1]
>>> x

["red","blue", 6, 9, 10]

>>> x[0:2] = []
>>> x

[6,9,10]

>>> x[0:2] = [1,2,3]
>>> x

[1,2,3,10]

>>> x[3:3] = [4,4]
>>> x

[1,2,3,4,4,10]

>>> x = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],["red","green","blue"]]
>>> x[1][2]
