used when there is more than one possible path for a program to follow

a dynamic data structure that can contain items of different data types

a way of organising and storing data in a computer

the location of items or elements in a list, array or string

Creating lists in Python

Computing

Python list operations

Iterating through data structures

Using for loops to iterate data structures

Mathematical operations in data structures

Data structure projects in Python

In this unit pupils will discover how data is represented and processed in sequences, such as lists and strings. They will cover a spectrum of operations on sequences of data, that range from accessing an individual element to manipulating the entire sequence though real world practical activites.

Python programming with sequences of data

taking an item away from an existing data structure

a built-in function that will perform an operation on a list

the process of repeating a sequence of instructions within a program loop

a sequence of characters, e.g. letters, numbers, spaces, and other symbols

an iterative statement that will repeat for the length of a given sequence

a symbol or word that instructs the computer to perform a specific calculation or action

examine data carefully to find out the truth about something

reducing the number of digits in a number by examining the digits that follow that will be discarded
