How can I use lists?

Lord-Guest

Despite my years on scratch, I never really knew how to use lists. Is there any chance someone could give me any type of breakdown?

A list is basically a variable except instead of storing 1 thing, it stores multiple things. That's the simple version.

The wiki can explain it better. https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/List

Did I help you fix your problem? If so, please nominate my project to be featured!

If my code is used, credit is NOT required

In other programming languages it's often called an array, and it's what it's named after: a list of items, of whatever kind you want them to be.

Forum tips:
Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.
