Tuple

Updated Meaning/Definition

A tuple is a data structure that is an immutable, or unchangeable, ordered sequence of elements. Because tuples are immutable, their values cannot be modified.

Generally, tuples use less memory than a list or array.

Tuples allow for slicing and indexing like lists but do not have methods for deleting or changing elements.

Key Characteristics of Tuples:

• Immutable: You cannot modify, add, or remove items after creating the tuple.
• Ordered: Items in a tuple maintain their defined order.
• Can Store Different Data Types: Each element in a tuple can be of any data type.
• Supports Indexing: Access elements using indices starting from 0.

Example (Python)

# creating a tuple 
mySiblings = ('Susan', 'James', 'Bryan')

# accessing an element within a tuple:

mySiblings[2]
