An example that uses most of the list methods:
\begin{verbatim}
->>> a = [66.6, 333, 333, 1, 1234.5]
->>> print a.count(333), a.count(66.6), a.count('x')
+>>> a = [66.25, 333, 333, 1, 1234.5]
+>>> print a.count(333), a.count(66.25), a.count('x')
2 1 0
>>> a.insert(2, -1)
>>> a.append(333)
>>> a
-[66.6, 333, -1, 333, 1, 1234.5, 333]
+[66.25, 333, -1, 333, 1, 1234.5, 333]
>>> a.index(333)
1
>>> a.remove(333)
>>> a
-[66.6, -1, 333, 1, 1234.5, 333]
+[66.25, -1, 333, 1, 1234.5, 333]
>>> a.reverse()
>>> a
-[333, 1234.5, 1, 333, -1, 66.6]
+[333, 1234.5, 1, 333, -1, 66.25]
>>> a.sort()
>>> a
-[-1, 1, 66.6, 333, 333, 1234.5]
+[-1, 1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5]
\end{verbatim}
empty list to the slice). For example:
\begin{verbatim}
->>> a = [-1, 1, 66.6, 333, 333, 1234.5]
+>>> a = [-1, 1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5]
>>> del a[0]
>>> a
-[1, 66.6, 333, 333, 1234.5]
+[1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5]
>>> del a[2:4]
>>> a
-[1, 66.6, 1234.5]
+[1, 66.25, 1234.5]
\end{verbatim}
\keyword{del} can also be used to delete entire variables:
