All right, it's time to wrap things up!

  • List definitions require elements separated with commas inside square brackets:

    invited_guests = ['Mark', 'Hannah', 'Walter']
  • List elements are accessed with square brackets. Indexing starts at 0.

    # first element
    invited_guests[0] 
    # first and second element
    invited_guests[0:2] 
    
  • To add a new element:

    # way one
    invited_guests.append('New Guest')
    # way two
    invited_guests + ['New Guest']
    
  • To delete an element from a list:

    # when you know the index
    del invited_guests[2]
    # when you know the value
    invited_guests.remove('Hannah')
    
  • To iterate over a list:

    # when you don't need the index
    for guest in invited_guests:
      print(guest)
    # when you need the index
    for guest in range (0, len(invited_guests)):
    
  • Lists can be used as function arguments. They can also be returned from functions.

Alright, it's time for a short quiz!
