EDA Python - 11-1Tuples

This video tutorial covers the basics of tuples and sets in Python, focusing on the differences between tuples and lists. Tuples are immutable, meaning they cannot be changed once created, unlike lists which are mutable. The tutorial explains how to create and modify lists, and highlights the limitations of tuples, such as the inability to append or change items. It also discusses common errors encountered when working with tuples and demonstrates that tuples can contain mixed data types. The video concludes with a brief overview of the key concepts and differences between tuples and other data types.

Which of the following is a key characteristic of tuples in Python?

• They are always empty.

• They are mutable.

• They are immutable.

• They can be sorted.

What is the main difference between lists and tuples?

• Lists are always longer than tuples.

• Lists are immutable, tuples are mutable.

• Lists can be sorted, tuples cannot.

• Lists are mutable, tuples are immutable.

What happens when you try to append an item to a tuple?

• The item replaces the last element.

• An attribute error occurs.

• The tuple is converted to a list.

• The item is added successfully.

Why might you choose to use a tuple over a list?

• To ensure the data cannot be changed.

• To allow for faster sorting.

• To enable dynamic resizing.

• To store only string data types.

Can a tuple contain different data types?

• No, all elements must be of the same type.

• Yes, it can contain different data types.

• Only if they are all strings.

• Only if they are all numbers.
