Lesson 29 Arrays and lists
This lesson introduces learners to the data structures: arrays and lists. It defines them and explains the differences between the two. It then moves on to focus on lists in Python. Learners will use lists to create a ‘Simon says…’ game, which randomly selects instructions from a list of items. They will then move on to learning about append() and remove(), and perform a shopping list activity where they practise using the methods.
