A list is a special kind of data type which can contain zero or more elements of any other data type. Lists are signified by square brackets surrounding their elements, which are separated by commas.

List examples:

[0,1,2,3,4], ["Yes","No","Perhaps"], [1,14.154,"Isn't this fun?",<0,0,0>]

A list can grow dynamically as large as needed during execution, and is only limited by the amount of memory that script has available. However, there is a 72 element limit to lists defined at compile time. - This no longer seems to be the case, there appears to be no limit to the number of predefined elements anymore. Too many elements will now produce a runtime error when the script runs out of memory.

Lists cannot be nested.

It is important to note that indexing starts at 0, not 1.

To access the individual elements use the llList2<type> functions.
