sublists
Lists within lists
Sublists are lists contained within a larger list—divisions or subsections of the parent list.
In programming, a sublist is a portion extracted from an array or sequence: The function returns a sublist of the first five elements.
In everyday contexts, sublists help organize complex information into manageable categories: She broke her grocery list into sublists by store aisle.
