A sequence is an ordered list of values. A sequence might be an array or linked list that contains the values, or it might be a lazy sequence that knows how to generate the values.

Some languages, like Common Lisp and Factor, use the term sequence; but some other languages, like Java, prefer the term list for the same idea.
