Built-in Methods for Lists in Python

Built-in Methods in Python:


Python has many built-in methods that help in working with data structures like lists. This response focuses on some important built-in methods such as `len()`, `max()`, `min()`, `append()`, `insert()`, `remove()`, `pop()`, `sort()`, `reverse()`, and `list()`. Using these methods, we can manipulate lists and increase their efficiency.

1. len() Method: Used to get the length (number of elements) of a list or other iterable.
2. max() Method: Returns the largest element in a list.
3. min() Method: Returns the smallest element in a list.
4. append() Method: Used to add a new element to the end of a list.
5. insert() Method: Used to add a new element at a specific position in a list.
6. remove() Method: Used to remove a specific value from a list.
7. pop() Method: Removes the last element from a list and returns it. You can also remove and return an element from a specific index.
8. sort() Method: Sorts the list in ascending order. Use `reverse=True` for descending order.
9. reverse() Method: Reverses the elements of a list.
10. list() Method: Used to convert an iterable (like a tuple, set, or string) into a list.
