Now that you are acquainted with lists, it is time to learn a little bit more about them. Today’s post is about indexing. You are going to learn more about how indexes work in lists and how to use them in code.
Indexing is a lot more than calling parts of a list you might need. Developers use indexing to double-check what value is at a specific index. This makes it very helpful when debugging lists.
Lists are mutable. Mutable means that any values inside a list can be changed after it has been made. At Coding with Kids, the values in the lists the students created throughout their projects would constantly change with certain values being added, removed, or changed.
