Show me how to use python list

To use a Python list, you need to know how to create, access, modify, and iterate over it. Here are some basic steps:

• To create a list, you can use square brackets with commas separating the items. For example, my_list = [1, 2, 3] creates a list of three numbers¹. You can also use the list() function to convert other data types into lists¹.
• To access an item in a list, you can use its index (the position of the item in the list). For example, my_list[0] returns the first item in my_list, which is 1. The index starts from zero and goes up to one less than the length of the list². You can also use negative indexes to access items from the end of the list. For example, my_list[-1] returns the last item in my_list, which is 3².
• To modify an item in a list, you can assign a new value to its index. For example, my_list[1] = 4 changes the second item in my_list from 2 to 4. You can also use methods like append(), insert(), remove(), or pop() to add or delete items from a list².
• To iterate over a list, you can use a for loop or a while loop. For example,

for item in my_list:
    print(item)

This code prints each item in my_list on a new line. You can also use functions like map(), filter(), or reduce() to apply operations on each item of a list³. Alternatively, you can use list comprehensions to create new lists based on existing ones with some conditions or transformations³.

There are many more ways to use Python lists for different purposes. You can learn more about them by reading online tutorials or documentation⁴.
