Python Basics — Tuples

Chapter 10 — Tuples

Tuples are Python’s immutable ordered sequences. They look like lists but cannot be changed after creation — making them perfect for fixed collections of data.

Quick Preview

# Creating tuples
coordinates = (10, 20)
colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
single = (42,)  # trailing comma for single element

# Unpacking
x, y = coordinates
print(x, y)  # 10 20

# Immutable — cannot change
# colors[0] = "yellow"  # TypeError!
