What operations are supported by most sequences in Python?

Answer from AI

  • Indexing (s[i])
  • Slicing (s[i:j], s[i:j:k])
  • Iteration (for x in s:)
  • Length (len(s))
  • Membership check (x in s, x not in s)
  • Concatenation (s + t)
  • Repetition (s * n, n * s)
  • Minimum value (min(s))
  • Maximum value (max(s))
  • Index search (s.index(x[, i[, j]]))
  • Count of occurrences (s.count(x))

Mutable sequences (such as lists) also support:

  • Assignment by index (s[i] = x)
  • Slice assignment (s[i:j] = t)
  • Deletion of an element by index (del s[i])
  • Slice deletion (del s[i:j])
  • In-place modification (s += t, s *= n)

Some operations may have different implementations or efficiencies depending on the specific sequence type. For example, searching for an element in a list may be slower than in other data structures.
