Is it true that we need to know all the structural isomers for butane? How many isomers of hydrocarbons do we need to know?

I just looked at the study design and there is nothing said about isomers in unit 3, but in unit 1 they said:

Quote from: study design
structural isomers of C4H10

Which seems to indicate what you are saying, but they may well extend on this. My teacher said something about a question in a previous exam like this, I don't know..
2009/2010: Mathematical Methods(non-CAS) ; Business Management | English ; Literature - Physics ; Chemistry - Specialist Mathematics ; MUEP Maths

96.85

One of the exams from the previous study design asked for the isomers of C4H9Cl, and I doubt this part of the course has changed much .
