Python lists, dictionaries and sets · Freshers

Model answer

append adds one item to the end, insert adds at a position, extend adds many, remove deletes the first matching value, pop removes by index (default last) and returns it, and del deletes by index or slice. Use sorted() for a new sorted list and sort() to sort in place.
