Mutability and Immutability

Lists are mutable collections that can contain heterogeneous elements. Elements in a list are accessed via indexes and lists allow insertion, deletion, and updating of elements. Lists are mutable datatypes as their elements can be modified, unlike primitive datatypes like int and string which are immutable.
