Creating and indexing

Python · Unit 5: Lists

A list keeps several values in order. You write it inside brackets [], with commas between the values.

When you print it, Python shows the text in single quotes: it is the same thing.

fruits = ["fig", "plum", "kiwi"]
print(fruits)

Prints

['fig', 'plum', 'kiwi']

The rest of the explanation is in the lesson, which is part of the full plan.
