Lists, Tables, and Figures

Lists

\begin{itemize}
  \item First point
  \item Second point
\end{itemize}

\begin{enumerate}
  \item First step
  \item Second step
\end{enumerate}

itemize gives bullets; enumerate gives numbers.

Tables

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & y \\
\hline
1 & 2 \\
3 & 4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

{|c|c|} declares two centered columns with vertical borders; \hline draws a horizontal line, and & separates cells within a row.

Why This Matters for Your Exams

A results table or a numbered derivation looks far more professional in LaTeX than it ever does in Word — and once the table structure clicks, it's genuinely fast to produce.
