Python 3.4 - Lists

Lists can store data in different orders and can be used to draw upon data or be used for other purposes. >>>list_name = [1,1,3,8] The positions are 0,1,2,3 You can access items in a list: >>>list_name[2] 3 You can replace players >>>list_name[2] = 4 >>>List_name  [1,1,4,8] You can add new items (i.e. +[3,4,5]) to the list but it won't change the list permanently. You can add on things though by .append . means do this - append you can remove and add new items (slice) by writing the list name then this [:2].

The way we learn history today and the aspects we focus on differ from those long ago. In its inception history was a form of record-keeping, an annalistic tool used to chronicle one war after another; during the 19th century history was preoccupied with Kings and Kingdoms and the rule of leaders. During these periods history would fit the prescription above, dealing w...
