Creates a list from an iterable
Usage
The list() function creates a list from an iterable.
The iterable may be a sequence (such as a string, tuple or range) or a collection (such as a dictionary, set or frozen set)
There is another way you can create lists based on existing lists. It is called List comprehension.
Syntax
