List

An ordered, mutable collection that can contain duplicate values and allows indexing.

Ordered

Items in a List that maintain their arrangement based on their insertion order.

Mutable

Indexable

The ability to access elements in a List via their positions.

Heterogeneous

Describes a List that can contain items of multiple different types.

Iterable

An object that can be iterated over, such as a List.

List comprehension

A concise way to create Lists by transforming one iterable into another.

Slicing

.pop()

List method that removes an element at a given index and returns it.

.clear()

List method that removes all items from the list.

2D List

A List of Lists, which allows for a matrix-like data structure.

Indexing

Accessing an element based on its position in a List.

Zero-based indexing

Indexing method where the first element is at index 0.

Row

A horizontal grouping of items in a 2D List.

Column

A vertical grouping of items in a 2D List.

List[start : stop : step]

Syntax to slice a List from start to stop with a specified step.
