Hi there, I'm Ashley Boucher and
I'll be your instructor for

3
00:00:12,828 --> 00:00:15,017
this short course introducing tuples.

4
00:00:15,017 --> 00:00:18,718
Check the teacher's notes to make sure
you've completed all the prerequisites

5
00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:19,624
before moving on.

6
00:00:19,624 --> 00:00:25,120
In this course, we're going to talk
about Python tuples, that's T-U-P-L-E-S.

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,557
You might hear some people call tuples,
tuples, and

8
00:00:27,557 --> 00:00:30,114
there's some debate about
the proper pronunciation.

9
00:00:30,114 --> 00:00:33,219
But for
this course we'll be calling them tuples.

10
00:00:33,219 --> 00:00:38,203
A tuple is a type of Python sequence,
a sequence is an ordered group of things.

11
00:00:38,203 --> 00:00:41,759
Python recognizes six different
types of these ordered groups,

12
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:45,844
two of which you're probably already
familiar with, lists and strings.

13
00:00:45,844 --> 00:00:50,654
But we're only going to be introducing
one of them, the tuple, in this course.

14
00:00:50,654 --> 00:00:54,954
A tuple is a lot like a Python list, but
with a slightly different syntax and

15
00:00:54,954 --> 00:00:56,190
one key difference.

16
00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:58,330
Keep moving forward to learn
what that difference is.
