A list in Python is a built-in data structure that is used to store a collection of items. It is represented by square brackets [] and can contain elements of different data types. Lists in Python are ordered, which means that the order of the elements in a list is based on their index values. Lists are also changeable, which means that we can add, remove, or modify elements in a list after it has been created.
Here is an example of a list in Python:
my_list = [1, 2, "apple", True, 3.14]
In this example, we have a list named "my_list" that contains elements of different data types, including an integer, a float, a string, and a boolean. We can access the elements of this list using their index values, where the first element has an index of 0, the second element has an index of 1, and so on. For example, to access the second element in the list, we can use the following code:
print(my_list[1]) # output: 2
We can also use negative index values to access elements from the end of the list. For example, to access the last element in the list, we can use the following code:
print(my_list[-1]) # output: 3.14
