7601 :: Are sequences the nim equivalent of python lists?

• livingstone1337 (orginal) [2021-03-10T17:01:22+01:00] view original

  I'm trying to translate a program from python to nim and I want to know if sequences are a good alternative for a list that I can just fill up and use as I see fit.

  Yes, they can be resized at runtime just fine.

  They are similar, as @Yardanico mentioned, but one caveat is that sequences in Nim can only be of a single data type. In python, you can do this:

  Run

  whereas in Nim, you can only have a sequence of all strings, or all ints, or all floats, etc.
