Hi developers/learners/readers 🙋♀️✋
Python Unleashed 07
Going to do comparison between C++ vectors and Python lists in this blog. As I am moving to Python from C++, so this can help others like me.
To those who are not familiar with C++, you may find few things confusing.
INTRO
List items are within square brackets, like C++ arrays/vector
Dynamically sized, can shrink and grow
elements are separated by comma as always
Stores data in sequence, in linear fashion
It can store data of any type, unlike vectors in C++
Random Access Possible (Negative and Positive Index), Prone to Index out of bound errors, AND ZERO BASED INDEXING
Mutable
We do have a list class for lists
List is so so much similar to vectors.
list[-0] returns 0th elements only
Methods on List
Append -> add element to the end of list, one at a time, tuple and lists can be added
Insert -> requires two values, element can be added at desired position. One argument is position, second is value.
Extend -> add multiple elements to the end of list, elements must be in square bracket.
Reverse -> reverses the list
Reversed -> A good read
Remove Elements -> Removes one element at a time, and element must be there in the list, otherwise throws error, pass element which you would like to delete
Pop -> Either remove element from end only or pass index
Slicing -> Same as that for strings check here strings
