what is finite sequence

A finite sequence is a list of ordered items, usually numbers, that has a clear starting point and stopping point and contains a limited number of terms. The opposite of a finite sequence is an infinite sequence, which goes on forever and does not have a last term. Each number in a sequence is called a term, and each term has a position, such as first, second, third, and so on. The length of a finite sequence is the number of terms it contains, or equivalently, the cardinality of its domain.
