## 1. What is the meaning of the term 'collection' in programming? What is a 'collection' of strings?
<br/>
A 'collection' is a group of variables of the same type stored together. A 'collection' of strings is a group of strings stored together.
## 2. Consider the following lines of code.
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
coll.push("puppy")
coll.push("clock")
```
Write the line of code that will display the string "puppy" using `data->coll`.
<br/>
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
basic.showString(coll[0], 150)
```
## 3. Consider the following lines of code.
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
coll.push("puppy")
coll.push("clock")
coll.push("cat")
```
Write the line of code that will display the string "cat" using `data->coll`.
<br/>
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
basic.showString(coll[2], 150)
```
## 4. Consider the following line of code.
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
```
Write the five (5) lines of code that will add the following five words to `data->coll`: puppy, clock, night, cat, cow.
<br/>
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
coll.push("puppy")
coll.push("clock")
coll.push("night")
coll.push("cat")
coll.push("cow")
```
## 5. Write the code to get a string from the collection at a random position.
<br/>
```blocks
let coll: string[] = []
let index = Math.randomRange(0, coll.length)
let word = coll[index]
```
