📋 List Operations

Lists are one of Python's most versatile data structures, allowing you to store and manipulate collections of items. Understanding list operations is fundamental to Python programming.

# Basic list operations
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(f"List: {numbers}")
print(f"Length: {len(numbers)}")
print(f"First element: {numbers[0]}")
print(f"Last element: {numbers[-1]}")

🤔 Why List Operations Matter

Lists are essential for:

• Storing collections of data
• Processing sequences of items
• Building dynamic data structures
• Implementing algorithms
