This page provides an overview of the various built-in methods available for working with lists in Python. This page covers the different operations you can perform on lists, such as adding, removing, sorting, and searching elements. It explains how these methods can be used to efficiently manipulate and work with collections of data within your Python programs. The information on this page serves as a comprehensive reference for the full range of list-related functionality that Python's programming language offers developers.
