What is list in Python | Basics

Python List is the built-in data type used to store multiple items in a single variable. Python has 3 more data types Tuple, Set, and Dictionary to store multiple value data for different purposes.

You can easily create a list by using square brackets, where the elements are placed inside square brackets ([]), separated by commas

mylist = ["A", "B", "C"]

Example code list in Python

Simple example code. An important point about List is List elements are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate values.

furit_list = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

print(furit_list)

print(type(furit_list))

Output:

List items can be of any data type:

list1 = ["A", "B", "C"]

list2 = [1, 5, 7, 9, 3]

list3 = [True, False, False]
