Document Summary

Interpreted works with the existing code that"s there. Computer programming tasks to do something new in software that already exists. A little more difficult to do it in python. And arcgis does not update to 3. 0 that"s why 2. 7. A list can have diff types of data. A drawer can have a string next one number etc. Therefore takes up more space in your memory. In an array you can"t have diff data types. Each of these items would have an integer. Arrays are more restricted and better for mathematical calculations. Writes to the hard drive when you make modifications. Each of these elements can hold some other type of data or value. But they all have to be the same data type. Each element in the array have to have an index. First element in the array has an index of 0. You need to tell python that it"s a raster.
