Learn to use arrays to group several values, access them by position, and walk through simple lists using the foundation you already built with loops and variables.
When you have several values of the same family, an array is much healthier than a pile of separate variables.
If you want to keep three tasks, you could create `task1`, `task2`, and `task3`. But that becomes awkward as soon as the list grows or changes.
An array lets you gather those values in one structure and treat them as an ordered list.
At this stage, small and readable arrays are enough. You do not need advanced methods yet.
Every value in an array sits in a numbered position called an index.
In JavaScript, the first element starts at index `0`. That can feel strange at first, but it is worth learning early because it appears constantly later.
This is also an important mental shift: you stop guessing variable names and start reading positions inside a structure.
The combination of arrays and loops is one of the first genuinely powerful tools in the course.
