    Vector Function

    Usage

    {e1, e2, ...} is a list of elements.

    Basic example

    The short notation {...} and the FullForm notation List[...] are equivalent:
In[1]:=List[a, b, c, d]
Out[1]={a, b, c, d}
In[2]:=FullForm[{a, b, c, d}]
Out[2]=List[a, b, c, d]

    Notation

    {...}

    Background

    List is a very general construct used to represent collections of expressions. Lists may have any length or depth. The expression List[a, b, c, ...] is commonly written and displayed using the shorthand syntax {a, b, c, ...}. Lists are particularly important in the Wolfram Language, which does not define explicit vector, matrix, tensor, etc. objects but rather uses (possibly nested) lists to represent such structures. For example, {a, b, c, ...} can represent a vector, {{a, b}, {c, d}} a matrix, and so on.
