Operations that could be performed on a list

In Python, the attributes of a data type can be retrieved using the dir() method. For example, the attributes available for the sequence list can be retrieved as follows:

    >>> dir(sequence)
    ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__',
    '__delitem__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__',
    '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__',
    '__gt__', '__hash__', '__iadd__', '__imul__', '__init__', 
    '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mul__',
    '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
    '__repr__', '__reversed__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', 
    '__setitem__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 
    'append', 'clear', 'copy', 'count', 'extend', 'index',
    'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort']

These attributes enable performing different operations on a list. Let's discuss each attribute in detail.
