# Exercise 2.14: More sequence operations
> Source: Practical Python Programming, `02_Working_with_data/04_Sequences.md`.
### Exercise 2.14: More sequence operations
Interactively experiment with some of the sequence reduction operations.
```python
>>> data = [4, 9, 1, 25, 16, 100, 49]
>>> min(data)
1
>>> max(data)
100
>>> sum(data)
204
>>>
```
Try looping over the data.
```python
>>> for x in data:
print(x)
4
9
...
>>> for n, x in enumerate(data):
print(n, x)
0 4
1 9
2 1
...
>>>
```
Sometimes the `for` statement, `len()`, and `range()` get used by
novices in some kind of horrible code fragment that looks like it
emerged from the depths of a rusty C program.
```python
>>> for n in range(len(data)):
print(data[n])
4
9
1
...
>>>
```
Don’t do that! Not only does reading it make everyone’s eyes bleed,
it’s inefficient with memory and it runs a lot slower. Just use a
normal `for` loop if you want to iterate over data. Use `enumerate()`
if you happen to need the index for some reason.
