What is the difference between a python list and a tuple?
The key difference between a list and a tuple is that tuples are immutable. This means that you cannot change the values in a tuple once you have created it. So if you're going to need to change the values use a List.
Benefits of using tuples −
They help in slight performance improvement.
As a tuple is immutable it can be used as a key in a dictionary.
If you can't change it neither can anyone else, which is to say you don't need to worry about any API functions etc. changing your tuple without being asked.
They take up less space than lists.
