Collections and

Sequences in Python
In Python, collections and sequences are essential tools for
grouping multiple values together. They help you manage and
organize data efficiently, whether it’s a list of numbers or a
dictionary of key-value pairs.

Collections are like containers that hold multiple items. They come
in different types, allowing you to store objects with or without a
specific order. You can add, remove, and iterate over items in a
collection. Common types of collections include:

Dictionaries: Store key-value pairs and maintain the order of


insertion.
Sets: Store unique elements without any specific order.

Sequences are a type of collection that maintains a specific order


of items. The order in which you add items is the order in which
you retrieve them. Common sequence types include:

Strings: Immutable sequences of characters.


Lists: Mutable sequences that can store a collection of items.
Tuples: Immutable sequences that can store a collection of
items. stable

Key Differences
Order: Sequences maintain a specific order, while collections
like sets do not.
Indexing: You can access items in sequences by their position
using an index. Collections like sets and dictionaries do not
support indexing.
Mutability: Lists are mutable (you can change them), while
tuples and strings are immutable (you cannot change them).
Sets and dictionaries are mutable.

Understanding these concepts will help you effectively manage


and manipulate data in your Python programs. Whether you need
to store items in a specific order or just group unique elements
together, Python’s collections and sequences provide the tools
you need.
