<H3><A NAME="SEC17" HREF="ProgrammersManual_toc.html#TOC17">Indexing into Lists and Strings</A></H3>

<P>
Both strings and lists can be seen as ordered sequences of MOO values.  In the
case of strings, each is a sequence of single-character strings; that is, one
can view the string <CODE>"bar"</CODE> as a sequence of the strings <CODE>"b"</CODE>,
<CODE>"a"</CODE>, and <CODE>"r"</CODE>.  MOO allows you to refer to the elements of lists
and strings by number, by the <STRONG>index</STRONG> of that element in the list or
string.  The first element in a list or string has index 1, the second has
index 2, and so on.
