How can I display nested lists (the programming-datastructure) in LaTeX?

Question

I would like to write something in LaTeX, where I need nested lists. It should be displayed like this:

segment = [
             [ [0,1,0],[1,1,1],[0,1,0] ]
             [ [1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1] ]
             [ [0,0,1],[1,0,0],[0,0,0] ]
           ]

How can I do this in LaTeX?

Answer 1

You can enclose whatever you want displayed in the environment verbatim of the verbatim package and it will preserve spaces. Here's an example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{verbatim}

\begin{document}

\begin{verbatim}
segment = [
             [ [0,1,0],[1,1,1],[0,1,0] ]
             [ [1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1] ]
             [ [0,0,1],[1,0,0],[0,0,0] ]
           ]
\end{verbatim}

\end{document}
