Using the list type in Icon

In the Icon language, a list is an ordered set of objects. You can put anything in a list---integers, reals, strings, other lists, even entire complex data structures.

To master lists in Icon you need to know just a few things:

To create an empty list or a list with particular elements in it, see `Creating an Icon list with specific contents'.
To create an ``array,'' that is, a list with some given number of elements in it, see `Creating an Icon list of a fixed size'.
To learn how to access or set specific elements of a list, see `Using Icon lists as arrays'.
If you want to use stacks (pushdown lists), see `Using Icon lists as stacks'.
You can add or remove elements from either end of an Icon list. See `Using Icon lists as queues'.
