LIST MANIPULATION
The python lists are containers that are used to store a list of values of
any type.
The values in a list are called elements or sometimes items.
It is a standard data type of Python that can store a sequence of values
belonging to any type.
Python lists are mutable.
List differs from string and tuples as lists are mutable but strings and
tuples are immutable.
The lists are depicted through square brackets [ ].
Example:
L1=[„A‟,‟N‟,‟A‟,‟C‟,‟O‟,‟N‟,‟D‟,‟A‟]
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Forward index
A N A C O N D A List L1 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 Backward Index
Creating Lists
To create a list, put a no. of expressions in square brackets. Use square
brackets [ ] to indicate the start and end of the list, and separate the items by
commas( , ).
[ ] # empty list
[ 1,2,3 ] # list of integers
[ „a‟, „b‟, „c‟ ] # list of characters
[ „one‟, „two‟, „three‟ ] # list of strings
[„a‟, 1, „b‟, 3.5, „zero‟] # mixed values list
Empty List
The empty list is [ ]. It is the list equivalent of 0 or „ ‟ and like them it also
has truth value as false. You can create an empty list by-
L = [ ] or
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION

L = list() #using list() method
It will generate an empty list and name that list as L
Creating list by using input(),list(),eval() method
Not a list
List having only one string element
List having only one tuple
element
List having set of elements
len() returns number of elements of list

Nested Lists
A list can have an element in it, which itself is a list. Such a list is called a
nested list, e.g.,
L = [ 3,4,[5,6],7 ]
L is a nested list with four elements : 3, 4, [5,6]and 7.
L[2] element is a list [5,6].
Length of L is 4 as it counts [5,6] as one element.
Similarity with Strings
Length- Function len(L) returns the no. of items in the list L.
Indexing - L[i] returns the item at index i(the first item has index 0), and
Slicing - L[a:b] returns a new list, containing the objects at indexes
between a and b(excluding b)
Concatenation and replication opertors + and * can be used.
The + operator adds one list to the end of another. The * operator repeats
a list.
Accessing Individual Elements of Lists
The individual elements of a list are accessed through their indexes. List
elements are indexed, i.e., forward indexing as 0,1,2,3,…. And backward
indexing as -1,-2,-3,….
vowels = [ „a‟, „e‟, „i‟, „o‟, „u‟ ]
vowels[0] #a
vowels[4] #u
vowels[-5] #a
If you give index outside the legal indices(0 to length-1 or –length,-
length+1,…,-1), Python will raise Index Error
vowels[5] #Index Error: list index out of range

Accessing all the elements using a loop:
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 5
Lists are Mutable
vowels = [ „a‟, „e‟, „i‟, „o‟, „u‟ ]
vowels[0] = „A‟
vowels = [ „A‟, „e‟, „i‟, „o‟, „u‟ ]
vowels[-4] = „E‟
vowels = [ „A‟, „E‟, „i‟, „o‟, „u‟ ]
It changes the element in place in the same list as lists are mutable
#Accessing elements of a sublist
x = ['Ashok','Arjun']
print(x[0][1]) #2nd character of first element
print(x[1][3]) #4th character of second element
output:
s
u
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 6
#Accessing elements of a sublist
z = [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8]]
print(z[1][3]) # 4th element of second element([5,6,7,8) i.e nested element of
z
output:
8
#Changing print interval with third index
m = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
print (m[0:6:2]) #index are increased by 2
output:
[1, 3, 5]
Comparing Lists
For comparing operators >, <, >=, <=, the corresponding elements of
two lists must be of comparable types, otherwise python would give an
error.
Python gives the result of non equality comparisons as soon as it gets a
result in terms of true/false from corresponding elements comparison. It
jumps to next element when the first element of both lists is same and so
on.
[ 1, 2, 4 ] > [ 1, 2 ] #True
[ 1, 2, 8, 9 ] < [ 1, 2, 9, 1 ] #True
[ 1, 2, 3 ] < [ 1, [1,2] ,3 ] # Type error
Joining two List
The concatenation operator +, when used with lists, join two lists. Only two lists
can be joined.
L1,L2= [ 1, 2 ],[ 3, 4, 5 ]
L3= L1 + L2
print(L3)
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 7
output:
[1,2,3,4,5]
L1 + 2 #Type Error
Replicating
The * operator replicate a list specified no. of times.
L1*3 = [ 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, ]
Creating sublists using slicing
List slices are the sub part of a list extracted out. The list slice is itself a
list.
If you omit the first index, the slice starts at the beginning. If you omit
the second, the slice goes to the end. So if you omit both, the slice is a copy of the whole list.
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 8
A slice operator on the left side of an assignment can update
multiple elements:
>>> t = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
>>> t[1:3] = ['x', 'y'] # „b‟ and „c‟ replaced by „x‟ and „y‟
>>> print(t)
Output:
['a', 'x', 'y', 'd', 'e', 'f']
List Functions and Methods
1. index() method – The function returns the index of first matched item from
the list.
L=[13, 18, 11,16,18, 14 ]
L.index(18) #1
Returns 1st index of value 18 even if there is another 18 at index 4
2. append( ) method – The method adds an item at the end of the list.
L = [ „red‟, „blue‟ ]
L.append(„yellow‟)
Now L is updated: L = [ „red‟, „blue‟, „yellow‟ ]
3. extend( ) method – It takes a list as an argument and appends all of the
elements of the argument list to the list on which extend() is applied.
L1,L2 = [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 6 ]
L1.extend(L2)
Now L1 is updated: L1= [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 ]
4. insert( ) method- This function inserts an item at a given position.
L1=[1,2,3]
L1.insert(2, „4‟) # „4‟ is inserted at index 2
Now L1 is updated: L1= [ 1, 2, 4, 3 ]
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 9
5. pop( ) method – It removes an element from the given position in the list,
and return it. If no index is specified, pop() removes and returns the last
element.
L = [ 1, 2, 4, 1, 6 ]
ele= L.pop(0) # element at 0 index deleted
Now L is updated: L = [ 2, 4, 1, 6 ] #1 is deleted
6. remove( ) method – It removes the first occurrence of given item from the
list.
L = [ 2, 4, 1, 6 ]
L.remove(1) # „1‟ is removed
print(L)
Now L is updated: [ 2, 4,6 ]
7. clear( ) method – It removes all the elements in the list and makes it empty
and return nothing.
L= [ 1, 3, 2, 5, 7 ]
L.clear()
L is updated: L = [ ]
8. count() method – It returns the count of the item that you passed as
argument.(frequency or all occurrence of an element)
L = [ 13, 18, 29, 34, 18 ]
L.count(18) # it returns 2
L.count(32) # it returns 0
9. reverse() method – It reverses the items of the list.
L1 = [ 13, 18, 29, 34, 18 ]
L1 = L.reverse()
print(L1)
Output:
STUDY MATERIAL-XI COMPUTER-SCIENCE(083) LIST-MANIPULATION
BY: GAJENDRA S DHAMI Page 10
[ 18,34, 29, 18, 13 ]
10. sort() method - It sorts the items of the list in increasing order.
L = [ „a‟, „f‟, „d‟, „e‟ ]
L.sort() # For increasing order using sort
List.sort(reverse=True) # For decreasing order using sort
Output:
[ „a‟, „d‟, „e‟, „f‟ ]
[ „f‟, „e‟, „d‟, „a‟ ]
Using del command:
m = [10,20,30,40]
del m[1] # will delete 20 from the list
print(m)
del m # delete entire list
Output:
[10, 30, 40]
#Deleting using slice
m = [10,20,30]
del m[0:] #elements from 0 to last are deleted
print(m)
output:
[ ]

CHAPTER 13:DICTIONARIES
What is a dictionary in Python ???
Dictionary is a built-in data type of Python. Dictionary is like a container which associates keys
to values.
How Dictionary is different from the List ?
Dictionary is different from List in following manner..
1. Dictionary is not a sequence where as lists can be in sequence
2. Dictionaries don’t have any index numbers, whereas values of a lists are
associated or identified with the help of its associated index number
3. Keys within a dictionary must be unique, where as index of a list is not given by
user, it is always unique.
How to create a dictionary
To create a dictionary one needs to follow the given syntax
< dictionary-name> = { <key> : < value > , < key > : < value > .........}
Curly bracketes indicate the beginning and the end of dictionary
The key and the correspoing value is separated by : colon
Each entry consists of a pair < key : value > separated by a comma
For example
Monthdays={“January”:31,”February”:28,” March”,31, “April” : 30 , “ May” :31 , “
June “ : 30 , “July “: 31 , “August “ : 31 , “ September “ : 30 , “ October “: 31 ,
“November “ : 30 , “ December” : 31 }
Please see carefully
Key-value pair Key Value
“January “ : 31 “January “ 31
“February”: 28 “February” 28
Please note : if one gives a mutable type as key, Python gives an error as
“unhashable type “
For example
>>> dict = { [1,2] : “sangeeta”}
As the key has been given as list
Initializing a Dictionary
1. To initialize a dictionary , give key : value pairs , separated by
commas and enclosed in curly braces .....
Result = { “ Abhai “ : 88 , “ Amit “ : 90 , “ Atul” : 95 , “ Deepti “ : 56 }
2. Specify key : value pairs as arguments to dict ( ) function
One can pass keys and values as parameters to the function dict ( ), and create a
dictionary
result=dict(name="amit",per=99)
>>> result
{'name': 'amit', 'per': 99}
3 Specify keys separately and corresponding values separately
In this method , the keys and values are enclosed separately in parentheses
and are given as arguments to the zip( ) function, which is then given as argument of
dict ( )
For example
result=dict(zip(("name","per","result"),("Ankita",99,"PASS")))
>>> result
{'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS'}
Accessing Elements of a Dictionary
While accessing elements from the dictionary one needs a key. While elements
from the list can be accesed through its index number. To access an element from a
dictionary, follow the given syntax
< dictionary-name > [ < key >]
For example
>>> monthday[“January”]
Python return... 31
>>> print (“there are “ , monthday[“January”] ,” days in January “ )
Will print
There are 31 days in January
Traversing a Dictionary
Traversing means accessing and processing each element of a dictionary. To
access each element of a dictionary we take help of Python loop as we do take in List
For < item > in < dictionary > :
Process each element
For example
Monthdays={“January”:31,”February”:28,” March”,31, “April” : 30 , “ May” :31 , “
June “ : 30 , “July “: 31 , “August “ : 31 , “ September “ : 30 , “ October “: 31 ,
“November “ : 30 , “ December” : 31 }
To see all the elements of the ab ove dictionary, we give the following loop
For month in dictionary :
Print ( month , “:” , monthdays[month] )
The output will be
January : 31
Febraury : 28
March : 31
April : 30
.....
....
Decemeber : 31
In the above example month is the loop variable, which gets assigned with the keys
of monthdays dictionary , one at a time
Accessing keys or values
To see all the keys in a dictionary in one go, one can write < dictionary>.keys()
and to see all the values in one go , one must write < dictionary>. Values ( ) For example
>> week = { “Sunday” : 1 , “Monday “ : 2 , “Tuesday “: 3 , “Wednesday “ : 4 ,
“Thursday “ : 5 , “ Friday “ : 6 , “ Saturday “ : 7 }
>>> week.keys ( )
Will show
dict_keys(['sunday', ' monday '])
to see the values of the dictionary element
>>> week. Values ( )
Will show
dict_values([1, 2])
one can also convert the sequence returned by keys ( ) and values ( ) functions by
using list ( ) as shown belo w :
>>> list (week. Keys ( ) )
Will show the foloowing
['sunday', ' monday ']
>>> list ( week.values ( ) )
Will show the following
[1 , 2 ]
Adding Elements to Dictionary
One can add new elements to a dictionary using assignment as per
following syntax. The only issue is , entered key must not already be
available , i.e it must be unique
For example :
< dictionary > [ < key > ] =<value >
result["totalmarks"]=499
>>> result
{'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
Updating Existing Elements in a Dictionary
To update an element’s value is very much similary to adding a new value in to a
dictionary. In this case too we assign the updated values in to the key.
For example
result["per"]=99.5
>>> result
{'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99.5, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
Deleting Elements from a Dictionary
There are two methods for deleting elements from a dictionary
1. To delete a dictionary element, one can use del command. The syntax for doing
so is as follows
Del < dictionary > [ <key>]
For example
result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> del result['result']
>>> result
{'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'totalmarks': 499}
2. Another method to delete elements from a dictionary is by using pop( ) method as
per the following syntax..
<dictionary>.pop(<key>)
For example
result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> result.pop('per')
99
>>> result
{'name': 'Ankita', 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
Checking for existence of a key
The existence of an element in a dictionary can be checked with the help of in
and not in operators. The syntax to use these operators is as follows
< key > in < dictionary >
< key > not in < dictionary >
The in operator will return true if the given key is present in the dictionary
, otherwise false.
The not in operator will return true if the given key is not present in the
dictionary, otherwise false.
For example
result={'name': 'Ankita', 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> 'percentage' in result
False
>>> 'percentage' not in result
True
FUNCTIONS AND METHODS WITH DICTIONARY
Python provides some built-in methods and functions to ease our work. They are
as follows
1. len ( ) method
This method is used to tell the length i.e total number of elements present in to
the dictionary. The syntax to use len ( ) method is as follow :
len ( < dictionary> )
for example
>>>result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> len(result)
4
2. clear ( ) method
This method removes all the items from the dictionary and dictionary
becomes empty dictionary after this method. The syntax to use this method is.
<dictionary > . clear ( )
for example
>>>result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> result.clear()
>>> result
{}
3. get( ) method
This method is used to get an element in reference to the given key. The
syntax is as follows
< dictionary>.get(key, < message > )
for example
>>> result={'name': 'Ankita', 'per': 99, 'result': 'PASS', 'totalmarks': 499}
>>> result.get('result')
'PASS'
>>> result.get('percentage')
>>> result.get('percentage','wrong key ')
'wrong key '
4. keys( ) method
This method returns all of the keys present in the dictionary as a sequence of
keys. The syntax to use it is as follows
<dictionary> . keys ( )
For example
>>> result.keys()
dict_keys(['name', 'per', 'result', 'totalmarks'])
5. values( ) method
This method is used to return all the values present in to the dictionary as a
sequence of values. The syntax to use it is as follows
< dictionary> . values ()
For example
>>> result.values()
dict_values(['Ankita', 99, 'PASS', 499])
6. update( ) method
This method merges key:value paris from the new dictionary into the original
dictionary, adding or replacing as needed. The items in the new dictionary are
added to the old one and override any items already there with the same keys.
The syntax is
< dictionary>.update ( < other-dictionary>)
stud1={'name':'ANKUR' , ' CLASS': 'XIIA'}
>>> stud2={'name':' KAVITA','CLASS':'XIIB' ,'RESULT':'PASS'}
>>> stud1.update(stud2)
>>> stud1
{'name': ' KAVITA', ' CLASS': 'XIIA', 'CLASS': 'XIIB', 'RESULT': 'PASS'}
