1. Sequence

   In mathematics, informally speaking, a sequence is an ordered list of objects. Like a set, it contains members. The number of ordered elements is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set, order matters, and exactly the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence. Most precisely, a sequence can be defined as a function whose domain is a countable totally ordered set, such as the natural numbers. For example, is a sequence of letters with the letter 'M' first and 'Y' last. This sequence differs from. Also, the sequence, which contains the number 1 at two different positions, is a valid sequence. Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers. Finite sequences are sometimes known as strings or words and infinite sequences as streams. The empty sequence is included in most notions of sequence, but may be excluded depending on the context.

Examples of sequence in a Sentence

1. Gavin Naylor:

   We found evidence from jaws collected in Bangladesh that the genetic sequence of them is different from anything described. But we don’t have a specimen, it’s completely different than any of the others. So, there is a species out there that we don’t know about.

A specific result is never guaranteed no matter how much you prepare, despite this result, science and engineering have progressed.
