Here is an Array: ```elm import Array Array.fromList [1, 90, 5, 2] ``` http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-lang/core/4.0.5/Array Note that in many cases a list is preferred to an Array (and they are treated as separate types in Elm). Lists are for sequences of things that need to be

Hi Patricia, Elm, as a functional language, doesn't have for and while as declarative languages. There a lot of paradigms to have in mind: the sort of problem loops address in declarative languages usually is addressed with recursion in Elm and other functional languages (as Duane said). IMHO a

Recursion is the basic principle on which repetition is based in functional languages like Elm. However, in most cases, recursion is not needed for day to day programming, because functions such as List.map and List.foldr will accept functions, and repeat the application of the passed-in function
