Describe what a list is in your own words.

Lists and dictionaries are two of the most popular abstract data types in Python. Like most data types, each has its own specific uses in code. This week we will concentrate on lists.   

• Describe what a list is in your own words.  
• Provide reasons as to when it makes sense to use it in your code.   
• Give an example of data that you feel is a good candidate for being stored in a list.
• Be sure to post a substantive response to one of your classmates’ posts and cite any resources used.
