Object and Data Structure Basics

List

mylist= ['string', 1,2,3]
len(mylist) # get length of list
Result 3

Get part of a list (Slicing)

mylist[1:] gets from index one to the end
result 1,2,3

Concatenate list

another_list = [5,6]
newlist = mylist + anohter_list
result ['string', 1,2,3,5,6]

Add an item to the end of a list

newlist.append('hello')

Remove item from list

newlist.pop() # will pop last item
newlist.pop(0) # will pop index item 0

Sort and Reverse

newlist.sort() # sort list in place, which means you have to call newlist again to get the sorted results. you cannot do x = newlist.sort() becasue it will return nothing
numlist.reverse() # reverse in place

Dictionaries

Has key value pairs

mydict = {'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'}
