How to create a list in Python tutorial for beginners.

One of the most important types of data in Python is called a list. In this video tutorial we are going to learn about Python Lists. A list is exactly what it sounds like: a collection of things that are in a certain order. In programming, we often need work with a lot of data at the same time, so lists are very important. They let us work with a lot of data at the same time.
So let’s create our first list. We create a list by giving it a name and assigning it to a group of things we want it to hold. This group of things is stored in between brackets, which look like this: [] and the items in a list are separated by commas.

Let’s create a list of fruits. We type the name of the list
fruits = and now we have to type the brackets []
Now we have created an empty list. Let’s add some string items to it.
So we enter, “Apple”, “Orange”, “Banana”, “Avocado” separated by commas.
We created a list named fruits that contains 4 strings. This is how it looks in the memory. We have a big container with the label “fruits”, that’s the list, to hold four string items.
