Both List and Tuple are called as sequence data types of Python. Objects of both types are comma separated collection of items not necessarily of same type.SimilaritiesConcatenation, repetition, indexing and slicing can be done on objects of both types>>> #list operations >>> L1=[1, 2, 3] >>> L2=[4, 5, 6] >>> #concatenation >>> L3=L1+L2 >>> L3 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] >>> #repetition >>> L1*3 [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3] >>> #indexing >>> L3[4] 5 >>> #slicing >>> L3[2:4] [3, 4]>>> #tuple operations >>> T1=(1, 2, 3) >>> T2=(4, 5, 6) >>> #concatenation >>> T3=T1+T2 >>> ...

List and Tuple are called as sequence data types of Python. Objects of both types are comma separated collection of items not necessarily of same type. However, main difference between list and tuple is that list object is mutable whereas tuple object is immutable. Immutable object can not be modified once it is created in memory. Hence it is not possible to add, modify or remove item from tuple object. On the other hand these operations can be performed on a list.

Python sequence, including list object allows indexing. Any element in list can be accessed using zero based index. If index is a negative number, count of index starts from end.  As we want second to last element in list, use -2 as index.>>> L1=[1,2,3,4,5] >>> print (L1[-2]) 4

In this article, we will show you how to get the last element of the input list using python. Now we see 4 methods to accomplish this task − Using negative indexing Using slicing Using pop() method Using For loop Assume we have taken a list containing some elements. We will return the last element of the given input list using different methods as specified above. Method 1: Using negative indexing Python allows for "indexing from the end, " i.e., negative indexing. This means that the last value in a sequence has an index of −1, the second ... Read More

In Python, a list is an ordered sequence that can hold several object types such as integer, character, or float. In other programming languages, a list is equivalent to an array. In this article, we are going to append the list to another list(Concatenate Lists) in Python. The following are the different methods to accomplish this task − Using Concatenation(+) Operator Using the append method of the list object Using extend() Method Using itertools.chain() Method Obtain a list without duplicates Assume we have taken a list containing some elements. We will return the concatenated list of the given ... Read More

Python delattr()The delattr() deletes an attribute from the object if the object allows it.SyntaxThe syntax of delattr() is −delattr(object, name)The delattr() method takes two parameters −The delattr() doesn't return any value (returns None). It only removes an attribute (if object allows it).Exampleclass Coordinate:   x = 12   y = -7   z = 0 point1 = Coordinate() print('x = ', point1.x) print('y = ', point1.y) print('z = ', point1.z) delattr(Coordinate, 'z') print('--After deleting z attribute--') print('x = ', point1.x) print('y = ', point1.y) # Raises Error ...
