Sequence: Definition

Another discrete structure we'll talk about in this topic is a sequence.

A sequence is an ordered collection of various sorts of objects, which we call terms or sometimes coordinates, but the names items or elements are also proper. Examples:

Unlike sets, since sequences are ordered, changing the order or repeating a term creates a whole new sequence:

$\langle😀,\,$$😁, \,$$😎\rangle \neq\;$$\langle😀, \,$$😎, \,$$😁, \,$$😎, \,$$😀, \,$$😀, \,$$😀\rangle.$

We will get back to sequences at the end of this topic. Let's get back to sets now.
