List in Markdown

List are created in two ways, one with bullet points and the other with numbers. It is termed as ordered lists and unordered lists. Here, we will discuss commands to create both type of lists.

The ordered lists are the list in a specific order, i.e. numbers, which can be alpha numbers, roman numbers, or Arabic numbers. Thus, the lists that are represented in the forms of numbers is known as ordered lists. The ordered lists are used to represents steps and procedure, which is defined in a specific order.

Example 2:

Example 3:

Unordered Lists

The lists that are not defined in a specific order, i.e. bullets, are known as unordered lists. It has no sequence like numbers. The unordered lists are used to represents features, applications, points, etc., which does not has a specific order.
