Iterables are objects that can return their members one at a time. The iterables we will cover in this lesson are lists, tuples, ranges, dictionaries, and sets.

• Definitions

• Sequences

• Unpacking Sequences

• Dictionaries

• The len() Function

• Sets

• *args and **kwargs

Generally, a program flows line by line in sequential order. We have seen already that we can change this flow by calling functions. The flow can also be changed using conditional statements and loops.

• Conditional Statements

• Loops in Python

• break and continue

• The enumerate() Function

• Generators

• List Comprehensions

A virtual environment is a container for a Python development platform on your computer. Packages can be installed in the virtual environment that are separate from your standard, or non-virtual environment.

• Virtual Environment

• Understand what a virtual environment is.

• Create a virtual environment.

• Activate and deactivate a virtual environment.

• Delete a virtual environment.

Regular expressions are used to do pattern matching in many programming languages, including, Java, PHP, JavaScript, C, C++, and Perl. We will provide a brief introduction to regular expressions and then we’ll show you how to work with them in Python.

• Regular Expression Syntax

• Python’s Handling of Regular Expressions
