Summary
In the last two chapters, we have examined the language features and data types of Python. We have looked at the built-in data types and some internal Python modules, most notably the collections module. There are also several other Python modules that are relevant to the topic of this book, but rather than examining them separately, their use and functionality should become self-evident as we begin using them. There are also a number of external libraries such as the SciPy stack, and, likewise, I will attempt to explain their basic functionality as we begin to apply them.
In the next chapter, we will introduce the basic theory and techniques of algorithm design.
