You will also perform operations on simple data types like strings and numbers, as well as on more data structures like lists, ranges, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python.
