Allmycats1.Py: For Loop S in List

The document contains examples of Python code demonstrating various list operations and concepts, including: 1) Using lists to store multiple values and iterate through them with for loops; 2) Common list methods like append(), insert(), remove(), sort(), and more; 3) The differences between mutable and immutable data types like lists and strings; 4) Tuples as an alternative to lists that cannot be modified.

The in and not in Operators
'howdy' in ['hello', 'hi', 'howdy', 'heyas']

spam = ['hello', 'hi', 'howdy', 'heyas']


'cat' in spam
'howdy' not in spam
'cat' not in spam

******************

Multiple Assignment
>>> cat = ['fat', 'black', 'loud']
>>> size = cat[0]
>>> color = cat[1]
>>> disposition = cat[2]

>>> cat = ['fat', 'black', 'loud']


>>> size, color, disposition = cat

******************

Augmented Assignment Operators


>>> spam = 42
>>> spam = spam + 1
>>> spam
43

>>> spam = 42
>>> spam += 1
>>> spam
43

>>> spam = 'Hello'


>>> spam += ' world!'
>>> spam
'Hello world!'

>>> bacon = ['Zophie']


>>> bacon *= 3
>>> bacon
['Zophie', 'Zophie', 'Zophie']

Methods
A method is the same thing as a function, except it is “called on” a value.
>>> spam = ['hello', 'hi', 'howdy', 'heyas']
>>> spam.index('hello')
0
>>> spam.index('heyas')
3

******************
Adding Values to Lists with the append() and insert() Methods
>>> spam = ['cat', 'dog', 'bat']
>>> spam.append('moose')
>>> spam
['cat', 'dog', 'bat', 'moose']

>>> spam = ['cat', 'dog', 'bat']


>>> spam.insert(1, 'chicken')
>>> spam
['cat', 'chicken', 'dog', 'bat']

Removing Values from Lists with remove()


>>> spam = ['cat', 'bat', 'rat', 'elephant']
>>> spam.remove('bat')
>>> spam
['cat', 'rat', 'elephant']

>>> spam = ['cat', 'bat', 'rat', 'elephant']


>>> spam.remove('chicken')

>>> spam = ['cat', 'bat', 'rat', 'cat', 'hat', 'cat']


>>> spam.remove('cat')
>>> spam
['bat', 'rat', 'cat', 'hat', 'cat']

******************

Sorting the Values in a List with the sort() Method


>>> spam = [2, 5, 3.14, 1, -7]
>>> spam.sort()
>>> spam
[-7, 1, 2, 3.14, 5]
>>> spam = ['ants', 'cats', 'dogs', 'badgers', 'elephants']
>>> spam.sort()
>>> spam
['ants', 'badgers', 'cats', 'dogs', 'elephants']

>>> spam.sort(reverse=True)
>>> spam
['elephants', 'dogs', 'cats', 'badgers', 'ants']

>>> spam = ['Alice', 'ants', 'Bob', 'badgers', 'Carol', 'cats']


>>> spam.sort()
>>> spam
['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carol', 'ants', 'badgers', 'cats']

>>> spam = ['a', 'z', 'A', 'Z']


>>> spam.sort(key=str.lower)
>>> spam
['a', 'A', 'z', 'Z']

Example Program: Magic 8 Ball with a List
magic8Ball2.py.

import random
messages = ['It is certain',
'It is decidedly so',
'Yes definitely',
'Reply hazy try again',
'Ask again later',
'Concentrate and ask again',
'My reply is no',
'Outlook not so good',
'Very doubtful']
print(messages[random.randint(0, len(messages) - 1)]

******************

List-like Types: Strings and Tuples

>>> name = 'Zophie'


>>> name[0]
'Z'
>>> name[-2]
'i'
>>> name[0:4]
'Zoph'
>>> 'Zo' in name
True
>>> 'z' in name
False
>>> 'p' not in name
False
>>> for i in name:
print('* * * ' + i + ' * * *')

******************

Mutable and Immutable Data Types


A list value is a mutable data type: It can have values added, removed, or changed. However, a string is
immutable: It cannot be changed.
>>> name = 'Zophie a cat'
>>> name[7] = 'the'

The proper way to “mutate” a string is to use slicing and concatenation to build a new string by copying
from parts of the old string.

>>> name = 'Zophie a cat'


>>> newName = name[0:7] + 'the' + name[8:12]
>>> name
'Zophie a cat'
>>> newName
'Zophie the cat'
>>> eggs = [1, 2, 3]
>>> eggs = [4, 5, 6]
>>> eggs
[4, 5, 6]

>>> eggs = [1, 2, 3]


>>> del eggs[2]
>>> del eggs[1]
>>> del eggs[0]
>>> eggs.append(4)
>>> eggs.append(5)
>>> eggs.append(6)
>>> eggs
[4, 5, 6]

******************

The Tuple Data Type


The tuple data type is almost identical to the list data type, except in two ways. First, tuples are typed
with parentheses, ( and ), instead of square brackets, [ and ].

>>> eggs = ('hello', 42, 0.5)


>>> eggs[0]
'hello'
>>> eggs[1:3]
(42, 0.5)
>>> len(eggs)
3

Tuples, like strings, are immutable. Tuples cannot have their values modified, appended, or
removed.

>>> eggs = ('hello', 42, 0.5)


>>> eggs[1] = 99

Converting Types with the list() and tuple() Functions


the functions list() and tuple() will return list and tuple versions
>>> tuple(['cat', 'dog', 5])
('cat', 'dog', 5)
>>> list(('cat', 'dog', 5))
['cat', 'dog', 5]
>>> list('hello')
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

******************

References
>>> spam = 42
>>> cheese = spam
>>> spam = 100
>>> spam
100
>>> cheese
42
spam and cheese are different variables that store different values.
But lists don’t work this way. When you assign a list to a variable, you are actually assigning a list
reference to the variable. A reference is a value that points to some bit of data, and a list reference is a
value that points to a list.

>>> spam = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


>>> cheese = spam
>>> cheese[1] = 'Hello!'
>>> spam
[0, 'Hello!', 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> cheese
[0, 'Hello!', 2, 3, 4, 5]

Passing References
def eggs(someParameter):
someParameter.append('Hello')
spam = [1, 2, 3]
eggs(spam)
print(spam)

The copy Module’s copy() and deepcopy() Functions


>>> import copy
>>> spam = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
>>> cheese = copy.copy(spam)
>>> cheese[1] = 42
>>> spam
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
>>> cheese
['A', 42, 'C', 'D']
