CHEAT SHEET 4

Cheatsheet (Operations with Data Types)

In this section, you learned that:

• Lists, strings, and tuples have a positive index system:

["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
   0      1      2      3      4      5      6

• And a negative index system:

["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
  -7     -6     -5     -4     -3     -2     -1

• In a list, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th items can be accessed with:

days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
days[1:4]
Output: ['Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu']

• First three items of a list:

days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
days[:3]
Output:['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed'] 

• Last three items of a list:

days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
days[-3:]
Output: ['Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']

• Everything but the last:

days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
days[:-1] 
Output: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat'] 

• Everything but the last two:

days = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
days[:-2] 
Output: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri'] 

• A single in a dictionary can be accessed using its key:

phone_numbers = {"John Smith":"+37682929928","Marry Simpsons":"+423998200919"}
phone_numbers["Marry Simpsons"]
Output: '+423998200919'
