Data structures organize data based on its type. In Python, the primary data structures are lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets, each with its distinct characteristics. In this course, we'll delve into these structures and discover how to utilize them effectively.

To initialize an empty list, simply assign empty square brackets to a variable.

A list can house items of any data type, be it a string or a number. Here's another example:
