Lets now see how to define a non-empty list. We do it as,::

442

     nonempty = ['spam', 'eggs', 100, 1.234]

442

Thus the simplest way of creating a list is typing out a sequence 
a9b71932cbfa Added exercises and slides to getting started with symbolics
Amit Sethi
parents: 418
diff changeset
    72
of comma-separated values (items) between square brackets. 
a9b71932cbfa Added exercises and slides to getting started with symbolics

All the list items need not be of the same data type.

As we can see lists can contain different kinds of data. In the
a9b71932cbfa Added exercises and slides to getting started with symbolics
Amit Sethi

    76
previous example 'spam' and 'eggs' are strings and 100 and 1.234 are

Amit Sethi

diff changeset
    77
integer and float. Thus we can put elements of heterogenous types in
a9b71932cbfa Added exercises and slides to getting started with symbolics
Amit Sethi
parents: 418

    78
lists including list itself.
