Lists

A list contains an ordered collection of elements. To create a list, use a pair of square brackets. To create an empty list, leave the brackets empty. To create a list with elements, put values inside of the brackets. Examples: 
x = []
print(x)
# []

x = ["a", "b", "c"]
print(x)
# ["a", "b", "c"]
To add an element to the end of a list, use the .append() method: 
x = ["a", "b", "c"]
x.append("d")
print(x)
# ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
To remove a specific value from a list, use the .remove() method: 
x = ["a", "b", "c"]
x.remove("b")
print(x)
# ["a", "c"]
To remove an element at a specific position from a list, use the del keyword with the index of the element. Indexes start at 0: 
x = ["a", "b", "c"]
del x[0]
print(x)
# ["b", "c"]
