# Arrays

**Arrays** are multiple pieces of data stored in a single variable. Basically, a **list**.&#x20;

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

Use an array where you’d use a list&#x20;\- shopping list, items in a bag, attendee list, etc.

You can also use them where you’d use a table&#x20;\- contact information, recipe ingredients, statistics, etc.&#x20;
