Discussion Topic: Lists or Dictionaries?

In this module, you are working with lists and dictionaries. Consider the following scenario before you make your initial post.

1)Lists and dictionaries in Python are similar in that they are both used to store a collection of other data. In many cases, a programmer could use either one effectively to achieve a particular goal. Imagine a collection of some sort of data and propose which collection data type, a list or a dictionary, you would choose.

For your initial post, determine whether dictionaries or lists are the most efficient method, and provide a rationale based on what you learned in this module to support your decision.
