Difference Between List and Tuple in Python

Difference Between List and Tuple in Python

1. Mutability:
   • List: Mutable, meaning its elements can be changed or updated.
   • Tuple: Immutable, meaning its elements cannot be modified after creation.
2. Syntax:
   • List: Defined with square brackets []. Example: my_list = [1, 2, 3].
   • Tuple: Defined with parentheses (). Example: my_tuple = (1, 2, 3).
3. Performance:
   • Tuples are faster and consume less memory than lists due to immutability.
4. Use Case:
   • Use lists for dynamic data.
   • Use tuples for fixed or read-only data.
