Module 6: Lists

3.1.1 Construct lists and access their elements

• Create empty and populated lists.
• Store values of the same or different data types in a list.
• Access list elements using positive and negative indexes.
• Extract portions of a list using slicing.
• Use slice start, stop, and step values.
• Create copies of lists using slicing.

3.1.2 Modify, search, sort, and iterate through lists

• Add elements using methods such as append() and insert().
• Locate elements using methods such as index().
• Remove list elements using appropriate methods or the del keyword.
• Sort list data using the sorted() function and relevant list methods.
• Iterate through list elements using a for loop.
• Initialize and update values while processing a list.
• Use the in and not in operators to test list membership.
• Determine the number of elements in a list using the len() function.

3.1.3 Create, access, and modify multidimensional lists

• Use lists of lists to represent two-dimensional structures such as matrices.
• Use deeper levels of nesting to represent three-dimensional structures such as cubes.
• Access elements in multidimensional lists using multiple indexes.
• Modify values stored in nested lists.
