Creation

Most often used are:

firstList = [0.12, 23.4, 12.5]         # three elements
                                       # of type floating-point

secondList = ["New York", "Amsterdam"] # two elements
                                       # of type string

thirdList = [3, 5, 7, 9]               # four elements
                                       # of type integer

The thirdList can also be created with the range function:

thirdList=range(3,10,2)                  # the list [3, 5, 7, 9]
