list

A list is an ordered collection of \(n\) elements.

requirements

  • as list length cannot be negative
  • list length cannot be \(\infty\)
  • repetition matters
  • order matters

additional info

  • two lists are equal IFF they have
    • same \(n\)
    • same elements
    • same order
  • they are different from sets because
    • order matters
    • (therefore, because in/out is no longer a binary) number of entries of the same object matters
    • length is finite
