A list is a series of values separated by commas; lists are often enclosed in parentheses to avoid ambiguity and these parentheses are often necessary.
Lists are a good way of getting information across quickly to the user in a structured manner. There are three different lists we can produce - unordered, ordered and definitions lists. The appearance of list elements should be defined with CSS. Unordered lists - The ul element is used to create an unordered list (a list of items that have no specified order, unlike a numbered list for example). Items in the list are defined with the li element. Ordered lists - The ol element is used to create an ordered list (numbered). Items in the list are defined with the li element. An ordered list creates the same list as the previous example, but numbered rather than using bullet points. Definition - The dl element is used to create an ordered list. Definition Lists consists of term/definition pairs. Terms are defined with the dt element, and definitions are defined with the dd element.
a block-level element and it comes with default padding and margins
a collection in which the objects are arranged in a linear sequence
a collection of scalar values enclosed in parentheses
a collection that has an order assoicated with its elements
a container holding elements that can be accessed via zero-based indexes
a control that offers a choice of several elements to the user
a finite sequence of objects
a kind of sequence that supports bidirectional iterators and allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere within the sequence, with storage management handled automatically
a kind of sequence , which means that DTML can iterate over it using the dtml-in tag
a mutable sequence of arbitrary elements
an expression sequence enclosed in square brackets
an interface in which each element has a position
an object that maintains a dynamic sequence of data by
an ordered group of scalars
an ordered sequence of items
an ordered sequence of objects, parameterized by the element type
an ordered sequence of zero or more values of any type
an ordered set of elements enclosed in square brackets
a number of whitespace-separated elements surrounded by parenthesis
a parenthesized, comma-separated set of values, not necessarily assigned to a variable name
a sequence between curly braces, e
a sequence of basic data types
a sequence of elements separated by commas and enclosed by brackets
a sequence of elements that are arranged according to some algorithm
a sequence of expressions enclosed by parenthesis and separated by spaces
a sequence of expressions in parentheses, separated by spaces
a sequence of objects of the same type
a sequence of paragraphs, each of which may be preceded by a special mark or sequence number
a sequence of scalar values enclosed in parentheses
a sequence of syntactic tokens enclosed in a pair of parentheses
a sequence of terms inside parentheses
a sequence of the elements separated by spaces
a sequence of values of the same type
a sequence of zero or more commands separated by newlines, semicolons, or ampersands, and optionally terminated by one of these three characters
a simple ordering of elements of a single type
a vector for which each element is a distinct S object, of any type
A built-in Python datatype, which is a mutable sorted sequence of values. Note that only sequence itself is mutable; it can contain immutable values like strings and numbers. Any Python first-class object can be placed in a tuple as a value.
A sequence container with the property that every entry "knows" where to find the next entry. Lists where every entry 'knows' where the previous entry is are called bi-directional lists. The C++ list type is bi-directional.
A collection of S-Expressions, called elements, enclosed in by parenthese. Examples could be "(a b c)", "(1, 2, 3)", "(happy, red, Two, 2, 3.14)".
contains any sequence of items organized as a list, whether of numbered, bulletted, or other type.
Part of the Java Collections Framework used to implement a sequence of objects.
interface specifies an ordered sequence of elements. Implemented by ArrayList, Vector and LinkedList.
A special kind of data object, found in POP-11 and other artificial intelligence languages. A list consists of a sequence of zero or more elements, each of which may be any kind of data object (including another list).
Objects or data items connected together to form a meaningful sequence. Also known as a 'queue'.
A group of paragraphs formatted to indicate membership in a set or in a sequence of steps.
A list is written as a set of zero or more terms between square brackets. If there are no terms in a list, it is said to be empty, and is written as `[]'. In this first set of examples, all members of each list are explicitly stated: [aa, bb,cc] [X, Y] [Name] [[x, y], z] In the second set of examples, only the first several members of each list are explicitly stated, while the rest of the list is represented by a variable on the right-hand side of the “rest of†operator, `|': [X | Y] [a, b, c | Y] [[x, y] | Rest] `|' is also known as the “list constructor.†The first element of the list to the left of `|' is called the head of the list. The rest of the list, including the variable following `|' (which represents a list of any length), is called the tail of the list.
n. A multi-element data structure that has a linear (first, second, third, . . .) organization but that allows elements to be added or removed in any order. Queues, deques, and stacks are simply lists with restrictions on adding and removing elements. See also deque, element (definition 1), linked list, queue, stack.
