Python Tuple

Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable. Tuple is one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3 are list, set, and dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.

A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable. Tuples are written with round brackets ( ).

It is immutable.

The differences between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists and tuples use parentheses, whereas lists use square brackets. We can create a tuple by placing all the elements  inside parentheses (), separated by commas. It can have different types of elements.

Example:

tup = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 )

Advantages of Tuple over List:

  • We can generally use tuples for heterogeneous data types and lists for homogeneous  data types.
  • Since tuples are immutable, iterating through a tuple is faster than with list. So there is a slight performance boost.
  • Tuples that contain immutable elements can be used as a key for a dictionary. With lists, this is not possible.
  • If you have data that doesn't change, implementing it as tuple will guarantee that it remains write-protected.
