In Python, with element you mean the comma "," separated things of the lists. In list [6, 8, "dog", False]: 6, 8, "dog" and False are typically called elements or items. len is a function, that counts the items in a list. With len you need to remember, that lists can also be items of a list, and these inner lists are counted as 1 single items, no matter how many items they had. print(len([1, False, ["KingKong", "Monkey", "Gorilla"])) This would output: 3

An element is another word for an item in a list. Len() is a function to get how many items are in a list
