Introduction

In this section, we will understand the python code to swap the first and last elements and display the new list.

Program

list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# sorting first and last values in variables
f = list[0]
l = list[-1]
# Placing the variable values at first and last index
list[-1] = f
list[0] = l
print("The new list is : ", list)

Output:

Explanation

In the above python code, we have created a list with few elements. To swap the values we have created two variables f and l to store the value of elements at first position (index 0) and last position (index -1). Now we assign the interchanged values to the respective indexes and display the result.
