What does the list() function do in Python?

Question

I know that the list() constructor creates a new list but what exactly are its characteristics?

1. What happens when you call list((1,2,3,4,

Answer 1

aTuple = (123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc');
aList = list(aTuple)

print "List elements : ", aList

When we run above program, it produces following result:

List elements :  [123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc']

It is another way to create a list in python. How convenient!
