# When looking at strings, I mentioned the concept of data structures.

# To remind you, a data structure is a collection of data organised in a certain
# way. A string is a sequence of characters.

# We're now going to look at another kind — the list. A list is a sequence of
# items, and those items can be of any type.

# Here are two examples:

my_favourite_numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
my_friends = ["Victoria", "Mel", "Melanie", "Emma"]

# Notice how the square brackets `[` and `]` tell Python that this is a list,
# and how the commas separate the items in the list.

# It's common to forget these commas so add it to your list of things to check
# when your code doesn't work.

# @TASK Try making your own here:

your_list = ...
print(your_list)

# @TASK and print it out by running:

#   python 029_lists.py

# When you're done, move on to 030_list_indexing.py
