Creating a list

Let's see how we can create an empty list:

<Variable name > = []
List1 = []

Creating a list with values

A list contains comma-separated values. For example:

Avengers = ['hulk', 'iron-man', 'Captain', 'Thor']

Unpacking list values

You can assign a list value to variables by using the assignment operator. Let's discuss this with an example:

>>> a,b = [1,2]

>>> a

1

>>> b

2

>>> 

You can see that 1 is assigned to variable a and 2 is assigned to variable b. This is called unpacking. What happens when a list is provided with more variables? Let's see the following example:

>>> a,b = [1,2,3]
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in <module>

    a,b = [1,2,3]

ValueError: too many values to unpack

 The error indicates that there are more values to unpack. Let's see another example:

>>> a,b,c = [1,2]
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#8>", line 1, in <module&gt...
