Sequence Types

Sequence Data Types
Sequence is the ordered collection of elements
Allows to store multiple values in an organized and efficient manner
Sequence
String List Tuple

Sequence Data Type: str

Sequence Types: str
• A string is a collection of one or more characters
• Python strings can be enclosed either in single, double or triple quotes
• Python Strings belongs to str class

Creation of Strings
>>>S1 = ‘Python’
>>>S2 = “Python”
>>>S3 = ‘’’Python’’’
>>>S4 = ‘’’Python
Programming
Specialization’’’

Accessing String Elements
• Let S1 = “HELLO WORLD”
• How do we access the contents of the string?
• String elements can be accessed by passing an index with the name of the
string
• String name [ index ]

String Indexing
• Indexing must be an integer
• Both negative and positive indexing are valid
• Ex: S1 = “HELLO WORLD”

String Indexing
• Integer indexing can be used to access string elements
• Both negative and positive indexing are valid

>>> S1 [ 0 ]
>>> S1 [ 4 ]
>>> S1 [ -2 ]
>>> S1 [ 2: 7 ]

>>> S1 [ 0 ]
>>> S1 [ 4 ]
>>> S1 [ -2 ]
>>> S1 [ 2 : 7 ]
>>> S1 [ 2 : 10 : 2 ]
#returns H
#returns O
#returns L
#returns LLO W
#returns LOWR

Sequence Data Type: list

Sequence Types: list
• Ordered collections of objects of same or different types
• Lists are Mutable
• Examples:
• >>>L3 = [10, 20, 30, 40]
• >>> L4 = [‘Ram', 786 , 2.23, ‘Raj', 70.2]

Sequence Types: list
• L1 = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70]
• Access the entire list → use is its name.
• >>> Print ( L1 )
• Access a single item → use index operator [ ]
• >>> L1 [ 0 ]
• Access part of a list → use slicing operator [ : : ]
• >>> L1 [ 4 : 8 : 2 ]

Sequence Data Type: tuple

Sequence Types: tuple
• Ordered collections of objects of same or different types
• Tuples are Immutable
• Examples:
• >>> T1 = ( 9, 2, 13, 24 )
• >>> T2 = ( ‘Ram', 786 , 2.23, ‘Raj', 70.2 )

Access tuple Elements
• T1 = ( 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 )
• Access the entire tuple → use is its name.
• >>> Print ( T1 )
• Access a single item → use index operator [ ]
• >>> T1 [ 0 ]
• Access part of a tuple → use slicing operator [ : : ]
• >>> T1 [ 2 : 6 : 2 ]
