Everyone is familiar with a list. We make shopping lists, to$-$do lists, assignment lists, birthday lists, etc. Notice that even though there may be many items on the list, we call the list by one name. That is the idea behind an array, one name for a list of related items. In this lab, we will work with lists in the form of an array.

This work will begin simply with a list of numbers. We will learn how to process the contents of an array. We will also explore sorting algorithms, using the selection sort. We will then move on to more complicated arrays, arrays that contain objects.
