-Instead of arrays, LSL uses lists. The list {{LSLG|type}} is exactly what it sounds like: a heterogeneous list of the other data types. Lists are created via {{LSLG|csv|comma-separated values (CSV)}} of the other data types. enclosed by square brackets: "[" and "]". See below for examples of the {{LSLG|syntax}}.
-Lists not only store the {{LSLG|value}} of the list item, but also its type (see {{LSLG|llGetListEntryType}} and {{LSLG|llCSV2List}}). To directly enter a {{LSLG|float}} {{LSLG|value}} into a list, a decimal point (.) must be used.
-Because they store multiple value types, lists are not accessed with square brackets like arrays are. They are read by accessor {{LSLG|functions}} that specify the type of value attempting to be retrieved (e.g. {{LSLG|llList2Integer}}) and written with accessor functions that insert or replace values (or ranges of values) based on new list {{LSLG|variables}} (e.g. {{LSLG|llListReplaceList}}).
-Note: while the {{LSLG|LSL}} {{LSLG|compiler}} will only accept {{LSLG|code}} with a maximum of 72 items in a list, lists can actually support as many items as a {{LSLG|script}}'s {{LSLG|memory}} will allow. If a list of more than 72 predefined items is needed, just {{LSLG|concatenate}} (combine) two predefined lists into a new one: longlist = firstpart + secondpart;
-Lists cannot contain other lists, so using them like a multidimensional array is not possible natively (although several ways around this are available). Also, {{LSLG|stride|strided}} lists can be used.
-Examples:
-<pre>//a list with a string, integer, float, vector and rotation
-list l = ["somestring",12,3.0,<3.3,4,0>,<0,0,0,1>];</pre>
