| <h1>Collection Types</h1> | |
| <p>We can create types which are collections of other types (either primitive or custom). For instance a list of integer or a queue of strings...</p> | |
| <p>In a more formal speech, a collection is a container for items of a given type.</p> | |
| <p>An optional maximal size can be given with a positive integer (use "*" sign for infinite (anyway it is the default value)).</p> | |
| <p>There are different kinds of collections. Each one can be declared with its own keyword. The syntax is the following :</p> | |

| <p>Remarks :</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>"aTypeID" is the alias of the type of elements that will be contained within the collection</li> | |
| <li>what's between square brackets is optional : this is to specify the maximum number of elements that the collection can hold</li> | |
| <li>we'll see concrete implementations in the following sub sections</li> | |
| </ul> | |
