Do remember that historical and pedagogical order dont necessarily match. A C programmer would say integers (scalars) are easy, lists are hard. Not a notion necessary or useful in python Let's just close this (for now) Chris with this: You are in all likelihood a better programmer than I. It so happens I have directly or indirectly taught near to 2000 students in about 25 years. Lets reopen this conversation when you reach ⅓ that number, ok?
