Unit 3.2 Data Abstraction

Key Points

A list is made up of elements organized in a specific order

A string differs from a list as it is a sequence of characters rather than elements

Data abstraction uses a list by taking specific data elements from a list and organizing into a whole, less complex representation of the values such as a table
