This page contains all of the pre-recorded video lessons that were created for the
remote semester of Fall 2020. These were incredibly popular and so we are including
them again this year (though there are a few differences in content).
In many cases, these videos will go into even more detail than how we covered the material
in class (though you are never responsible for material not covered in class). These
videos are, for all intents and purposes, the textbook of this course. Each
lab and
lecture will indicate the videos that are
associated with that class day.
Note: These versions of the videos are not closed-captioned. If you need closed
captioning support for these videos, please visit the
official VOD channel
for CS 1110.

In this lesson we introduce two more sliceable data types: tuples and lists. They are similar to strings, except that they can contain data other than text.
