Unit 8 Lesson 1 Review

A _______ is a data structure that works just like a variable,

except for the fact that it can hold more than one value.

With a list, we can store which of the following?

• 1, 2, 10 or hundreds of values

• A mix of different values

• Can not store integers

• Can only store variables or strings

A lists is a type of data structure that can also be referred to as an _______.

What if you need to store the names of 25 students in a class? And what if you

wanted to search that classroom for a student named Julie?

Without a list, you would need:

• 25 different variables

• To search for the name Julie

• To create one variable name Julie

• Make 25 different statements to compare each variable against the name Julie

A list is a way to organize data in a program so that it is easier to manage and use.
