Could you explain what a list class in Python is and what it is used for?

The list class in Python represents a mutable ordered collection of elements. It is used to store sequences of objects that can be modified — adding, removing, or changing elements.

Main features of list:

• Storing elements of different types.
• Indexing and slicing for accessing elements.
• Methods for adding (append, extend), removing (remove, pop), sorting (sort), and other operations.

Example usage:

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
fruits.append('orange')
print(fruits[1])  # banana
fruits.remove('apple')
print(fruits)  # ['banana', 'cherry', 'orange']
