In Python, they are containers which are able to store more than one item at the same time. Specifically, they are an ordered collection of elements with every value being of the same data type.

What is the difference between a list and an array in Python?

There are arrays that contain only integers, or only floating point numbers, or only any other Python data type you want to use. Lists are built into the Python programming language, whereas arrays aren't. Arrays are not a built-in data structure, and therefore need to be imported via the array module in order to be used.

How do you identify items in an array in Python?

First, items in an array can be consistently identified by their index, or location, within the array. Second, items in an array are assured to be of the same type. When creating an array in Python, you must indicate the type of data to be stored. The available types are indicated using codes, which consist of the following:
