List Methods (2)

Most list methods will change the list they're called on. Examples are:

  • .append(), that adds an element to the list it is called on,
  • .remove(), that removes the first element of a list that matches the input, and
  • .reverse(), that reverses the order of the elements in the list it is called on.

You'll be working on the list with the area of different parts of the house: areas.
