List (Python)

A list in Python is an ordered, mutable collection that can hold items of any type.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
fruits.append("date")
print(fruits[0])  # "apple"

Key properties:

• Ordered — items keep their insertion order
• Mutable — you can add, remove, or change items after creation
• Allows duplicates — the same value can appear more than once
• Indexed — access items by position, starting at 0
