Difference between tuple and list in python

In Python, both tuples and lists are used to store a collection of values.

Mutability

Lists are mutable, which means you can add, remove, or modify elements in a list after it has been created.

Mutability

Tuples, on the other hand, are immutable, which means you cannot modify their elements after they have been created.

Syntax

Lists are defined using square brackets []

Tuples are defined using parentheses ()

Performance

Tuples are generally more lightweight and faster than lists, because they are immutable and can be optimized by the interpreter.

Usage

Lists are typically used to store collections  of related items that may need to be modified

Usage

Tuples are often used to represent fixed collections of related items that should not be modified.

#Creating a list my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

Sample Code

# Creating a tuple my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4)
