List Methods in Python
Lists have many built-in methods that make it easy to add, remove, and organize items. These methods modify the list in place (except copy).
We'll go through the most common methods with examples.
Adding Items
append() adds one item to the end. extend() adds multiple items from an iterable. insert() adds at a specific position.
Removing Items
remove() removes first occurrence by value. pop() removes by index (default last) and retorna it. clear() empties the list.
Searching and Counting
Sorting and Reversing
sort() sorts in place. reverse() reverses in place.
Copying Lists
Use copy() to create a shallow copy – important because = creates reference.
