Question

An ordered list of numbers is called a .

• A. pattern
• B. sequence
• C. string

Answer 1

The correct option is B sequence

Before coming to sequence, let's find out what does it mean by a pattern.

A pattern within any list of numbers is a type of structure that is used to predict the next number in that pattern.

And, a sequence is a list of numbers (or other objects) that are written (or arranged) in a particular order following a pattern. So, it is very clear that a sequence is an ordered list of numbers following a pattern.

As an example, $12112112\mathrm{1...}$ is a sequence as the list of numbers follows an ordered pattern, i.e., $121$ repeats itself, and we can also find out the next number in that pattern. Here, three dots represent the continuation of the sequence.
