Answer 1

Levi ,

you may be irritated by the output result when printing the array. there is no string type for array, but you can use 'u' for an array of type unicode charracter. the code:

import array
a=array.array('u', ['a', 'b'])
print(a)
a.append('x')
print(a)

shows:

array('u', 'ab')
array('u', 'abx')

this is how the character array is represented.

you can find here more info about python array module.

keep in mind that it is used only very rarely. most codes are using python lists or numpy arrays.

Levi array stores only one type of data
list stores any combination of different types of data

Answer 3
