Ch.7: Sequential Data | Intro to Python & Programming | Coding for Managers Series
UPDATE: The chapter number was changed from 7.1 to 7
This is a presentation of Chapter 7 of the "Introduction to Python & Programming" book that accompanies the coding course in the Bachelor program at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany in the spring semester 2020.
In this video, I talk about:
How objects of different data types, for example, string and a list objects, behave the same in various situations
How abstract concepts classifying these behaviors are more important than the actual data type an object has
How any object that "contains" references to other objects is a container type
How any object that contains a finite number of references to other objects is a sized type
How any object that may be looped over is an iterable type
How any object that may be looped over in a predictable order is a reversible type
How a sequence is really a meta-concept that unifies the aforementioned independent concepts into one
Why the list data type is an example of a sequence type
What the list type's mutability implies when reasoning about code
What list methods exists to change a list object in place
That passing a list object as the argument to a function call may have unintended side effects
How the tuple type is really just an immutable version of the list type
How packing and unpacking with the * operator makes code conciser
