Note: Python does not have built-in support for Arrays, but Python Lists can be used
instead.
Arrays
Note: This page shows you how to use LISTS as ARRAYS, however, to work with
arrays in Python you will have to import a library, like the NumPy library.
Arrays are used to store multiple values in one single variable:

An array JAVASCRIPT

variable, which PYTHON
hold moreJAVA PHP
than one value HOW TO
at a time. [Link] C
If you have a list of items (a list of car names, for example), storing the cars in single
variables could look like this:
car1 = "Ford"
car2 = "Volvo"
car3 = "BMW"
However, what if you want to loop through the cars and find a specific one? And what
if you had not 3 cars, but 300?
The solution is an array!
An array can hold many values under a single name, and you can access the values
by referring to an index number.
Access the Elements of an Array
You refer to an array element by referring to the index number.
Example
Get the value of the first array item:
x = cars[0]

Example
Modify the value of the first array item:
cars[0] = "Toyota"
