What Is a List? 3
• A list stores a series of items in a particular order.
• Lists allow you to store sets of information in one place, whether you
have just a few items or millions of items.
• Lists are one of Python's most powerful features readily accessible to
new programmers, and they tie together many important concepts in
programming.
Defining a list
Use square brackets ([]) to define a list, and use commas to separate
individual items in the list.
• Use plural names for lists, to make your code easier to read.
What Is a List? 4

Accessing elements
• Individual elements in a list are accessed according to their position, called
the index.
• To get a particular element, write the list's name and then the element's
index in square brackets.
