Python Tutorial for Beginners 4: Lists, Tuples, and Sets

In this Python Beginner Tutorial, we will begin learning about Lists, Tuples, and Sets in Python. Lists and Tuples allow us to work with sequential data, and Sets allow us to work with unordered unique values. We will go over most of the methods, learn when to use which data type, and also the performance benefits of each type as well. Let's get started.

[anismatar]

There is something in the way you talk that makes information very accessible and easy to follow up and flows with the screen, it is a rare gift that most instructors lack.

[ayushkishor]

You're a natural instructor/ teacher. You are so specific and clear. Even in 2020, This is one of the best free courses on Python all over Youtube

I regularly come back to these videos to remind myself of the basics of python. You're doing us all a huge service!

[tuzaguilar]

6 yr old video and still as clear as day. You are a good teacher. Thank you!

[totehalomy]

This is by far the best online python course out there. you really saved me, thanks.

Quick notes
List = mutable
Remove, pop, insert, append, extend, join, split, max, min, sum, sorted, sort
Tuple= immutable
Sets= used as membership checker
Doesn't allow duplicate data
Union, difference, intersection

I tried a different tutorial series before this one. The guy kept his head as big as he could and it was always blocking the code. He had massive amounts of filler chat, repeating the same lame jokes every single video, just fluff to pad the time.

What a breath of fresh air this series seems to be. No head blocking the code in every video. No BS or stupid jokes, just straight to it every time. Well done!! Love the format here.

this course is pure gold, if you are picking up python with a programming experience you can ezily get to programming level within a week. Thank you for your work

[menatoorus]

I've searched the youtube thick and thin for python tutorials for a week by now. These are the best ones indeed. Thank you my Great Guru.

[Trippykiyay]

It’s 2022 and this is still the best free Python course I have come across. I always recommend your course to anyone who wants to learn Python. Thank you 🙏

[obinnavitalis]

This is my first time coming across the set methods of intersection, union and difference. I don't regret spending my weekends on your page man.

[jingliu]

I love all your Python courses!!! You are the best!!! I feel so lucky to know you on Youtube and you get many of my Python issues clear. THANK YOU!!!

[ashwin]

By far many Python tutorials are available in the internet, Like Coursera python courses, Udemy, Learning python the hard way, many other blogs and Vlogpresented by many individuals and companies, with all due respect to all the tutorials given by Corey Schafer is simple and to the point. Anyone willing to learn Python(programming) going through Corey Schafer's tutorials will give you happiness. Thank you Schafer!.

[tahirsultanov]

There a lot of professional programmers, but not all are good teachers. You are a great teacher too! So easy to follow up!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[jonathanhutchinson]

Corey, I have to say that listening to you teach Python is just a pleasure. Thank you for this great resource that is broken down so manageably without being too slow nor difficult to follow. I only wish that there had been anyone to teach computer science at my school, let alone somebody who can explain it as well as you.

List : 0:00
Tuple : 20:05
LIst : 23:34

[ashleyclarke]

Thank you so much for making these videos. I have watched multiple tutorials and taken multiple course sera classes and your explanations are by far the best. Very clear and concise with perfect examples.

[itsoktobewhite]

I pulled up this vid to better understand the difference between lists, tuples, and sets. Ended up watching the whole thing and learned a bunch! Thank you Corey. 🙏

[wbelsom]

Corey, you are a great teacher. Your concern that your student understands the concepts comes through. I have tried many online courses on Python and yours is head and shoulders above the rest. Thank you.
