To create an empty list in Python, you can use two ways. First, the empty square bracket notation []<\/code> creates a new list object without any element in it. Second, the list()<\/a><\/code> initializer method without an argument creates an empty list object too.<\/p>\n

Both approaches are shown in the following code:<\/p>\n

# Way 1 to create an empty list:\nmy_list = [] # Way 2 to create an empty list:\nmy_list = list()<\/pre>\n
Next, you’ll learn many more related Python concepts you need to know that concern creation of lists. Keep reading to keep improving your skills and answer any subsequent question you may have!<\/p>\n

Python\u2019s built-in list()<\/code> function creates and returns a new list object. When used without an argument, it returns an empty list. When used with the optional iterable<\/code> argument, it initializes the new list with the elements in the iterable.<\/p>\n
You can create an empty list by skipping the argument:<\/p>\n
>>> list()\n[]<\/pre>\n
If you pass an iterable\u2014such as another list<\/a>, a tuple<\/a>, a set<\/a>, or a dictionary<\/a>\u2014you obtain a new list object<\/a> with list elements obtained from the iterable:<\/p>\n
>>> list([1, 2, 3])\n[1, 2, 3]<\/pre>\n
