Accessing Elements from list¶
Let us see how we can access elements from the list using Python as programming language.
We can access a particular element in a
listby using indexl[index]. Index starts with 0.We can also pass index and length up to which we want to access elements using
l[index:length]Index can be negative and it will provide elements from the end. We can get last n elements by using
l[-n:].Let us see few examples.
l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
l[0] # getting first element
1
l[2:4] # get elements from 3rd up to 4 elements
[3, 4]
l[-1] # get last element
10
l[-4:] # get last 4 elements
[7, 8, 9, 10]
l[-5:-2] # get elements from 6th to 8th
[6, 7, 8]
