If you've come to Python from a language like Java, then you're used to using arrays. But in Python, we use "lists." Are they the same things, but with different names? Or are these completely different? In this video, I answer this question, which I got from Sam, a subscriber to my free, weekly "Better developers" newsletter (https://BetterDevelopersWeekly.com/). I also look at Python's "array" module, as well as NumPy arrays.
