How do you use a list in a problem solving? Also array

Question

Which one is better. List or array. What’s the main difference and how they can be use

Answer 1

Honestly I've never found a real use for python arrays. For math and datasets I use numpy arrays and for basically every other situation I use a list.

Answer 2

Generally you should use a list unless you specifically need to use an array.

arrays can only store values of the same data type. arrays store data more compactly. math functions can be done directly on an array.

Answer 3

so array is only good for calculation? what application would be use for? i used the list like ordering food using menu and stuff. i cant give an exmple of an array

Answer 4
