Is "list" safer to use than "set" in my context?

Hello,

I have several numbers that represent time.

10 represents ten minutes. 20 represents twenty minutes. 1:00 represents one hour.

The values are separated by a space:


10 20 30 1:00 2:00 4:00


There are no duplicates such as 10 10 so I may be wrong but from a mathematical standpoint I think this would classify it as a set:


Add a set of predefined values.


However, I would like to be on the safer side and I was wondering if the word "list" can be used instead of "set":


Add a list of predefined values.


In the computer programming context lists ca be on the same line separated by whitespace or a comma, that's the context where I need the sentence.
