Python | Create three lists of numbers, their squares and cubes

Here, we are going to learn how to create three lists with the numbers, their squares and cubes in Python, where range of the numbers is given. By IncludeHelp Last updated : June 22, 2023

Problem statement

Create three lists with the numbers, their squares and cubes in Python, where range of the numbers is given.

Solution approach

Take a range i.e. start and end, and we have to create three lists, list1 should contain numbers, list2 should contain squares of the numbers and list3 should contain cubes of the numbers in Python.

Example

Consider the below example without sample input and output:

Input:
Start = 1 
End = 10

Output:
numbers: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,  9, 10]
squares: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
cubes  : [1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000]

Logic

• Declare three lists.
• Define range, here we are defining start with 1 and end with 10.
• Run a loop with the range as range(start, end+1) and loop counter as count.
• Append the loop counter count to the list named numbers, append square to the list named squares and append the cube to the list named cubes.
• Finally, print the lists.

Python program create three lists of numbers, their squares and cubes

# declare lists
numbers = []
squares = []
cubes = []

# start and end numbers
start = 1
end = 10

# run a loop from start to end+1
for count in range(start, end + 1):
    numbers.append(count)
    squares.append(count**2)
    cubes.append(count**3)

# print the lists
print("numbers: ", numbers)
print("squares: ", squares)
print("cubes  : ", cubes)

Output

numbers:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
squares:  [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
cubes  :  [1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000]

By defining own functions

# define function to add numbers in list
def listNumbers(a, b):
    # define dynamic list
    list = []
    for count in range(a, b + 1):
        list.append(count)
    # return list
    return list


# define function to add squares in list
def listSquares(a, b):
    # define dynamic list
    list = []
    for count in range(a, b + 1):
        list.append(count**2)
    # return list
    return list


# define function to add cubes in list
def listCubes(a, b):
    # define dynamic list
    list = []
    for count in range(a, b + 1):
        list.append(count**3)
    # return list
    return list


# Main code
# declare lists
numbers = []
squares = []
cubes = []

# start and end numbers
start = 1
end = 10

# get values in lists
numbers = listNumbers(start, end)
squares = listSquares(start, end)
cubes = listCubes(start, end)

# print the lists
print("numbers: ", numbers)
print("squares: ", squares)
print("cubes  : ", cubes)

Output

numbers:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
squares:  [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
cubes  :  [1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000]
