list()

Theory

169/268

list() is built into Python. You do not import it. Freshers only need one honest call and the printed result — not a long definition.

list() — output — ['A', 's', 'h', 'a']. String → list of chars.

Wrong type often raises TypeError. Empty values matter for bool/all/any. Don’t mix list up with a similar name (sorted vs sort, int vs float).

Diagram

index →  0       1       2
  list  → [Asha,  Ravi,  Neha]

Exam tip

Call list() once and say what prints.

# list()
print(list("Asha"))

list() — output: ['A', 's', 'h', 'a']. String → list of chars.
