How do I access the value of a list in Python?

In Python, you can access the value of a list by using its index. Each element in the list has a unique index, starting from 0 for the first element, 1 for the second element, and so on.

Here's an example:

my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

# Access the first element of the list
print(my_list[0]) # Output: 10

# Access the third element of the list
print(my_list[2]) # Output: 30

# Access the last element of the list
print(my_list[-1]) # Output: 50

In the first example, we access the first element of the list by using index 0. In the second example, we access the third element of the list by using index 2. In the third example, we access the last element of the list by using index -1, which is a shorthand for accessing the last element of the list.

You can also use slicing 

my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

# Access the first three elements of the list
print(my_list[:3]) # Output: [10, 20, 30]

# Access the last two elements of the list
print(my_list[-2:]) # Output: [40, 50]

List indexing allows you to refer to individual elements within the list by their position, starting from index 0 for the first element.

my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

print(my_list[0]) # Output: 10
print(my_list[2]) # Output: 30
print(my_list[-1]) # Output: 50 (negative index accesses elements from the end)

 my_list is a list of integers. By specifying the index in square brackets after the list variable, you can access the corresponding element's value. Indexing starts from 0, so my_list[0] retrieves the first element, my_list[2] retrieves the third element, and my_list[-1] retrieves the last element.
