Lists are containers to store items, such as the following:
• numbers
• variables
• character strings
• expressions (for example, assignments or function calls)
• matrices
• nested lists
Create a list in one of the following ways:
• use the List function
• use { } curly braces
Use the List() function or curly braces to create a list that includes numbers and variables:
x = List(1, 2, b);
x = {1, 2, b};
A list can contain text strings, nested lists, and function calls:
{"Red", "Green", "Blue", {1, "true"}, sqrt( 2 )};
You can place a variable into a list and assign it a value at the same time:
x = {a = 1, b = 2};
