3.2.3 Tuples vs Lists
Tuples and lists are both ordered collections, but they serve different purposes.
Key Differences
- Tuples are immutable, lists are mutable
- Tuples are typically used for fixed data
- Lists are used for data that changes over time
When to Use Tuples
- When data should not be modified
- When representing structured records
- When immutability improves safety
When to Use Lists
- When elements need to be added or removed
- When data is processed dynamically
- When flexibility is required
📌 Note:
Choosing between tuples and lists depends on whether data mutability is needed.
