# Introduction to lists in Python

You'll often work with multiple values in a program. In Python, you can group data together by using lists. In this module, you'll learn how to use lists and what the most common tasks with lists are.

## Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

* Identify when to use a list.
* Create a list with string values and number values
* Access a particular item in a list by using indexes.
* Push items to the end of a list.
* Sort and slice a list

## Prerequisites

* Basic Python programming knowledge, which includes use of variables, strings, integers and math.
* Experience modifying and running code in Jupyter Notebooks

## This module is part of these learning paths
