Creates a list.

Parameters¶

Examples¶

# Empty list
print(list())

# String of vowels
vowel_string = 'aeiou'
print(list(vowel_string))

# Tuple of vowels
vowel_tuple = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
print(list(vowel_tuple))

# List of vowels
vowel_list = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
print(list(vowel_list))

# Result:

[]
['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
