Encyclopedic overview
In computer science, a list or sequence is a collection of items that are finite in number and in a particular order. An instance of a list is a computer representation of the mathematical concept of a tuple or finite sequence.
A list may contain the same value more than once, and each occurrence is considered a distinct item.
