Phase 3, Lecture 2: Python Data Structures

Lecture Topics

• Sequences
• Sequence functions and methods
• List Comprehensions
• Dictionaries
• Sets

Introduction

In today's lecture, we will discuss Python Data Structures such as sequences, sets, and Dictionaries. We will also practice using List Comprehensions to generate new lists from lists that we are iterating over.

Setup

1. Make sure that your current working directory (folder) contains a Pipfile, then run pipenv install in your terminal to install pytest and any other required libraries.
2. Now that your pipenv virtual environment is ready to use, enter pipenv shell to start working.
3. Run pytest from inside of the phase-3-lecture-2-python-data-structures directory (if you can see lib, Pipfile, Pipfile.lock, pytest.ini, and README.md in your current working directory, then you are in the correct directory) to run the tests, and begin working to pass the tests. You can also run pytest -x to run one test at a time.
