Lists are created by wrapping the elements we want inside it with square brackets ([ and ]), separating the values with commas. Internally, lists are implemented as singly linked lists, meaning that accessing the elements of a list is a O(n) operation. Lists aren't stored contiguously in memory as arrays in other languages. As with tuples, list elements can be of any type:
iex> [1, :an_atom, 0.5][1, :an_atom, 0.5]
We have the ++ and -- operators that are exclusive to lists, and serve to concatenate and subtract lists, respectively:
iex> [0, 1, 1] ++ [2, 3, 5][0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5]iex> [0, 1, 1] -- [1, 2, 3][0, 1]
To check whether a certain element is present in a list, you can use the in operator:
iex> 1 in [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5]trueiex> 99 ...
