In this section, we will learn the methods provided by a List object in Python.
List Methods in Python
A list in Python is an object!
Python provided a set of useful methods for list objects that we can use in order to run different types of operations on them.
For example, one of these methods is called `append()` and using it we can add a new element to the end of a list object! (Using this method will increase the size of the target list as well).
The other useful method is `index()` method by which we can get the index number of a specific element in the target list.
Let’s see the list of methods provided for list objects in Python
| Method Name | Description |
| append() | Using this method, we can add a new element to the target list object. |
| clear() | Using this method, we can clear the entire elements of a list object. |
| count() | Using this method, we can count how many times an element appeared on a list. |
| extend() | Using this method, we can add the entire elements of another iterable object (like another list for example) to the end of the list that is invoking the method. |
| index() | Using this method, we can get the index number of a specific element in a list. |
| insert() | Using this method, we can insert a new element to a list object as a specific position. |
| pop() | Using this element, we can remove a specific element from a list. This method takes an index number and removes the element in that index from the list. |
| remove() | This method takes an element as its argument and removes the first occurrence of the element from the list. |
| reverse() | Using this method, we can reverse the order of a list. |
| sort() | Using this method, we can sort a list. |
In the next couple of sections, we will dive deep into each of the methods mentioned above.
