Common methods of Python lists include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. add an element at the end of the list<\/li>\n
  2. \nextend() – adds elements from one list to another<\/li>\n
  3. insert() – insert an element at a specified position<\/li>\n
  4. remove() – eliminate specified element<\/li>\n
  5. pop() – remove and return the element at the specified position<\/li>\n
  6. index() – returns the index of the specified element.<\/li>\n
  7. count() – calculate the number of times a specified element appears in a list<\/li>\n
  8. sort() – arranging elements in a list in a specific order<\/li>\n
  9. reverse() – Rearrange the elements in the list in reverse order.<\/li>\n
  10. clear() – remove all elements from the list<\/li>\n
  11. copy() – duplicate the list<\/li>\n
  12. len() – This function returns the length of a list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These methods can assist us in performing various operations on a list, such as adding, deleting, searching, sorting, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
