Structures
Python offers a rich set of built-in data structures that allow you to store and
manipulate information in powerful ways. From the basic tuple and list to the
more complex dictionary, these structures form the building blocks of many
Python applications.
3 Efficient
Tuples are more memory-efficient than lists and can improve performance in certain
scenarios.
Lists: Mutable and Ordered
Mutable Ordered Flexible
Lists are mutable, allowing you Like tuples, lists maintain the Lists can hold elements of
to add, remove, and rearrange order of their elements, making different data types, making
elements as needed. them useful for sequential data. them a versatile choice for many
programming tasks.
Dictionaries: Unordered Key-Value
Pairs
Key-Value Pairs Flexible Keys
Dictionaries store data as unordered Dictionary keys can be of various data
collections of key-value pairs, allowing for types, providing flexibility in how you
efficient lookup and retrieval. organize and access your data.
Powerful Mapping
Dictionaries excel at mapping related pieces of information, making them useful for tasks like
storing configuration settings or representing complex data.
