lists: define a variable which is a collection, delimited by {[*,*,*]}; add or remove elements from the list. A for() loop can be used to access each item of a list in order. When Python reads a text file, this results in a list of each line, which is a list of words, or else a single list of all the words. A list can include lists, or items of different types. To copy a list, use .copy() rather than an equal sign!
