Lists In Python

Lists In Python

Lists are just the Python’s implementation of what you might know as an Array or Vector.

Lists are sequential data structures based on a zero index, just like arrays work in JavaScript.

numbers = [1, 0, 3]

Just like in JavaScript, lists will be declared with [] passing the elements within. Further we will see another ways to declare arrays with features like list comprehensions and etc.

Lists Methods

First of all, the len() function mentioned in strings also works for lists returning the total length of the list.

names = ["Junior", "Reinaldo", "Ana"]

print(len(names))

The above output will be the integer 3 since it represents the total length of our list names.
