'List' is the correct abstract term for any data structure that holds a given number of values in an order, regardless of the implementation. So Python's List, or C++'s Array or Vector, or a Linked List are all considered lists in the abstract sense.

I did use 'list' and forgot it is called an 'array' or 'vector' in other languages. So sure, close enough :-)

Because those are limited to Python? 😜
