3.1.2 Common List Methods (append / pop / sort)

Lists provide built-in methods that make it easy to add, remove, and organize elements.

---

append()

The append() method:

• Adds an element to the end of the list
• Modifies the list in place

---

pop()

The pop() method:

• Removes and returns an element
• Removes the last element by default
• Can remove an element at a specific index

---

sort()

The sort() method:

• Sorts list elements in ascending order by default
• Modifies the original list
• Can be customized for different sorting behaviors

---

📌 Note:
Most list methods modify the list directly rather than returning a new list.
