Unit 16 - Python programming with sequences of data

Here you will learn about how data can be represented and processed in sequences, such as lists and strings. The lessons cover a spectrum of operations on sequences of data, that range from accessing an individual element to manipulating the entire sequence. Great care has been taken so that the selection of problems used in the programming tasks are realistic and engaging: you will process solar system planets, book texts, capital cities, leaked passwords, word dictionaries, ECG data, and more.
