This course introduces you to mutable data structures, which are advanced Python types that enable faster updating and search than basic types like ints and strings. These types are necessary for working with large data sets but can be difficult to master. You will explore multiple methods to work with these objects, which include lists, sets, and dictionaries. You will also write expressions and employ extensive use of visualization.
