Taking Input of a Python List

We can take the input of a list of elements as string, integer, float, etc. But the default one is a string.

 

Example 1: 

Python
# Python program to take space
# separated input as a string
# split and store it to a list
# and print the string list

# input the list as string
string = input("Enter elements (Space-Separated): ")

# split the strings and store it to a list
lst = string.split()  
print('The list is:', lst)   # printing the list

Output:

Enter elements: GEEKS FOR GEEKS
The list is: ['GEEKS', 'FOR', 'GEEKS']

Example 2:

Python
# input size of the list
n = int(input("Enter the size of list : "))
# store integers in a list using map,
# split and strip functions
lst = list(map(int, input("Enter the integer\
elements:").strip().split()))[:n]

# printing the list
print('The list is:', lst)   

Output:

Enter the size of list : 4
Enter the integer elements: 6 3 9 10
The list is: [6, 3, 9, 10]

Python Lists

Python Lists are just like dynamically sized arrays, declared in other languages (vector in C++ and ArrayList in Java). In simple language, a list is a collection of things, enclosed in [ ] and separated by commas. 

The list is a sequence data type which is used to store the collection of data. Tuples and String are other types of sequence data types.
