Hi there, I'm Ashley Boucher and
I'll be your instructor for
0:09
this short course introducing tuples.
0:12
Check the teacher's notes to make sure
you've completed all the prerequisites
0:15
before moving on.
0:18
In this course, we're going to talk
about Python tuples, that's T-U-P-L-E-S.
0:19
You might hear some people call tuples,
tuples, and
0:25
there's some debate about
the proper pronunciation.
0:27
But for
this course we'll be calling them tuples.
0:30
A tuple is a type of Python sequence,
a sequence is an ordered group of things.
0:33
Python recognizes six different
types of these ordered groups,
0:38
two of which you're probably already
familiar with, lists and strings.
0:41
But we're only going to be introducing
one of them, the tuple, in this course.
0:45
A tuple is a lot like a Python list, but
with a slightly different syntax and
0:50
one key difference.
0:54
Keep moving forward to learn
what that difference is.
