In this chapter, we will review the basics of data creation and data handling in the Wolfram Language. The chapter begins with the concept of lists; we define what can be included within this structure as well as the creation of lists, nested lists, arrays, vectors, and matrices. We explore how to order a list, how to assign new values, and finally how to select elements of a list depending on an established pattern.
