Alice has two built-in data structures: lists and arrays. Lists are ordered sets used to sequentially process objects, and can create queues. Arrays are indexed sets of variables like dancer[1], dancer[2] that store items like boxes. When deleting from a list, missing spots are filled in; when deleting from an array, empty variables are left behind. Lists are created by checking the "make a list" box, and can be manipulated with "For all in order" and "For all together" tiles. Arrays can be created similarly or using the Array Visualization object with properties and methods to manipulate elements.

Ch 8 data structures in alice
- 1. Data Structures in Alice
- 2. Data Structures in Alice Alice has two built-in data structures that can be used to organize data, or to create other data structures: Lists Arrays
- 3. Lists A list is an ordered set of data. It is often used to store objects that are to be processed sequentially. A list can be used to create a queue.
- 4. Arrays An array is an indexed set of variables, such as dancer [1] , dancer [2] , dancer [3] ,… It is like a set of boxes that hold things. A list is a set of items. An array is a set of variables that each store an item.
- 5. Arrays and Lists You can see the difference between arrays and lists when you delete items.
- 6. Arrays and Lists In a list, the missing spot is filled in when something is deleted.
- 7. Arrays and Lists In an array an empty variable is left behind when something is deleted.
- 8. Lists In an array an empty variable is left behind when something is deleted.
- 9. Lists A list is created in Alice by checking the make a list box when creating a new variable. Make a list box
- 10. Lists The For all in order and For all together tiles can be used to work with lists. They are at the bottom of the editor area.
- 11. Arrays Arrays can be created in a similar manner, but more often they are created using the array visualization object from the Alice local gallery. The Array Visualization object has special properties and methods for manipulating the elements in an array.
- 12. Arrays Alice has a set of built-in functions that can be perfomed on
