00:00:09.245 --> 00:00:11.309
Welcome to Python Sequences.

3
00:00:11.309 --> 00:00:14.520
My name is Ashley Boucher and
I'll be your instructor for this course.

4
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.890
This course does have some prerequisites,
so go ahead and check the teacher's notes

5
00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:21.350
before continuing to make sure that
you're as prepared as possible.

6
00:00:21.350 --> 00:00:25.150
As you might already know, a Python
sequence is an ordered group of things.

7
00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:28.050
In Python, there are several
different types of sequences.

8
00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:32.620
And you're probably already familiar with
a few of them, lists, tuples, and strings.

9
00:00:32.620 --> 00:00:35.350
There are also ranges which
will be covered in this course.

10
00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:37.060
And there are also sequences tailored for

11
00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:39.870
working with binary data,
which won't be covered in this course.

12
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.810
We're going to focus less on
what these sequences are and

13
00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:45.360
more on what you can do with them.

14
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:47.730
Like iterating over them,
creating ranges and

15
00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:52.000
slices, easily getting information about
elements in a sequence, like the min and

16
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.060
the max, and even comparing,
concatenating, and multiplying sequences.

17
00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:00.590
As usual, feel free to slow me down and
speed me up as needed.

18
00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:01.420
If you have questions,

19
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:04.400
the Treehouse community is
an excellent place to reach out,

20
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.330
get to know your peers, and contribute
to both your learning and others.

21
00:01:08.330 --> 00:01:08.870
When you're ready,

22
00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:11.570
come join me in the next video to
start learning about iteration.
