00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,599
Now you know three data types in Python. You

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,599
know integers, you know strings, and you know,

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,459
floats. These are simple data types. We also have

4
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:16,109
what is known as compound datatypes, types that are

5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:20,399
made of different objects, and the list is the

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,249
most popular one. So in a list, you can actually

7
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:26,729
store multiple objects. Let's suppose you are a

8
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:29,279
teacher, and you want to calculate the average

9
00:00:29,339 --> 00:00:32,579
grade of your students. So you use Python for

10
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:36,839
that, and you need a data structure to store those

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,289
values in Python. You need the proper type in

12
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:44,009
Python to represent the grades of your students

13
00:00:44,309 --> 00:00:48,149
and lists would be a good choice. Let's create a

14
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:53,519
list stored in a variable as usual, student_grades

15
00:00:54,029 --> 00:00:56,819
equal to open square brackets, close square

16
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:01,049
brackets, so the objects now will go inside this

17
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,919
syntax. So you saw that with integers, you'd use a

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,829
number without quotes for strings to tell Python

19
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:10,919
that that is a string, you use double or single

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,489
quotes. And with list you use these square

21
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:17,999
brackets. So every type has its own syntax. So

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,569
let's say 9.1 and 8.8, and 7.5. Those are the

23
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:26,159
grades of your students.

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,400
