comma-separated values (items) between square brackets. Lists might contain
items of different types, but usually the items all have the same type. ::
>>> squares = [1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25]
>>> squares = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
>>> squares
[1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25]

Like strings (and all other built-in :term:`sequence` type), lists can be
indexed and sliced::
@ -389,12 +389,12 @@ All slice operations return a new list containing the requested elements. This
means that the following slice returns a new (shallow) copy of the list::
>>> squares[:]
[1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25]
[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
Lists also supports operations like concatenation::
>>> squares + [36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
[1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
[1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
Unlike strings, which are :term:`immutable`, lists are a :term:`mutable`
type, i.e. it is possible to change their content::
