# Arrays

**Arrays** are multiple pieces of data stored in a single variable
. Basically, a **list**.
 

They are sometimes pictured as a one-column table with multiple rows.

Use an array where you’d use a list
 \- shopping list, items in a bag, attendee list, etc.

You can also use them where you’d use a table
 \- contact information, recipe ingredients, statistics, etc.
