Day 66 [October 24, 2025]

I need to buckle down, as I'm still lagging on day day 3 & 4 goals, "Day 3-4: Control structures (if-else, loops)", as well as day 5 (and 6) goals, "Day 5-6: Functions and modules", and Day 7 target (exercises) (Meta AI, personal communication, August 8, 2025). If I haven't covered this, I can't make progress on day 8 - 63 goals.

Lists and Tuples

Called Compound Data Types, so called because multiple values of different data types can be held in them, also allowing the organization and management of data collection (see also Google, 2025)

Summary:
List and Tuples are Compound Data types. Another example are Dictionaries.
