Answer 1

Some of the benefits of Python lists are-

• A list is declared within square braces with values separated with comas e.g., mylist=[1,2,'a','three',4.13].
• The lists are ordered sequences and are mutable i.e, we can edit the index later if we want to make some changes.
• It is heterogeneous i.e., used to store data of different data types.
• Every element in the list have been assigned an address called an index.
• The index can start from o or 1 and will go on till the last element called a positive index.
• If you want to access the last index you can start from -1 called as negative indexing.
• we can add, delete, and access elements in the list.
• Adding an element we have different functions
  • append() function
  • extend() function
  • insert() function
• We have different functions like
  • len() to find lent of the list
  • count() to count the number of elements in the list
  • sort() and sorted() used to sort the list
