Numerical Computing with Python

List

List is a basic Python data type for storing a collection of values. A list is created by putting element values inside a square bracket. To reuse our list, we can give it a name and store it like this:

evens = [2,4,6,8,10]

When we want to get a series in a greater range, for instance, to get more data points for our curve of squares to make it smoother, we may use the Python range() function:

evens = range(2,102,2)

This command will give us all even numbers from 2 to 100 (both inclusive) and store it in a list named evens.
