List elements are numbered, like the houses in a street, but starting at 0 (so that the last element of a list of n elements is actually number n-1). The indexing operator (a pair of square brackets) allows you to read or write a particular element of a list; conveniently, it can also be applied to retrieve individual characters in a string. The "len" function lets you know how many elements there are in a list, and you can use an indexing technique known as "slicing" to extract entire sub-lists.
