We can create variables that hold collections of values with arrays and lists or key-value pairs with dictionaries. This allows complex and grouped data to be stored efficiently. We can even choose the right looping statement for each collection type, while carefully avoiding infinite-loop crashes.

If you're feeling overloaded, that's perfectly OK—logical, sequential thinking is all part of exercising your programming brain.
