A tuple in python is mostly the same as a list where we can store a collection of items. The list below describes the different properties of a tuple. Most of the time you will be wanting to use a list instead of a tuple
- A collection of items stored together in a single variable
- Each item is kept in a specific order
- Items within the list CANNOT be changed
- duplicate items can be stored in the list
To create a new tuple we first need a variable and then to set it to the items inside of brackets () instead of square brackets as shown below.
exampleList = ("hello","welcome","to","codecamp")
Aside from creating the tuple and not being able to edit the tuple it functions exactly the same as a list as shown in the repl.it code below.
