Python list operations

Computing

Creating lists in Python

Iterating through data structures

Using for loops to iterate data structures

Mathematical operations in data structures

Data structure projects in Python

In this unit pupils will discover how data is represented and processed in sequences, such as lists and strings. They will cover a spectrum of operations on sequences of data, that range from accessing an individual element to manipulating the entire sequence though real world practical activites.

Python programming with sequences of data

Which list method can be used to add an item to the end of a list?

Which list method can be used to remove the last item from a list if you do not know the index of the last item? 

The operation `list.sort(reverse=True)` sorts a list in {{}} order

What list method is used to find the index of a specific item?

{{}} is used when there is more than one possible path for a program to follow.

used when there is more than one possible path for a program to follow

a collection of data in a particular sequence

an organised way to store data for easy use

the location of an item or element in a list or string

What is the correct way to access the first item in a list called names?

What letter can you type in to join text and the values held by a variable in a print statement?

when you refer to an index that does not exist in a list

when you have two of the same index values in a list

A list is a d{{}} data structure that can grow or shrink as you add or remove items.
