title: What is "homogenous" in Python list documentation?
body: <p>In python documentation list is defined as:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mutable sequences, typically used to store collections of homogeneous items (where the precise degree of similarity will vary by application).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why it's used to store collections of <strong>homogeneous</strong> items?</p>
  
  <p>Are a string and an int item also homogeneous then?</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = [12,"hello"]
  </code></pre>
