Lists vs Tuples

Question

I know what both are. lists are ordered and changeable and and allow duplicates and tuples are ordered and immutable and allow duplicates. I just cant figure which one to use to do something. They both have the same definitions. LITERALLY. if you look up what lists/tuples python in google it will give you the same defintion. Im asking when to use which?

Answer 1

The main difference is that you cannot change the tuple once you've created it.

So if you want to add, change or remove data, you better go for a list than for a tuple.

Answer 2

Lisa Thanks, I thought i was doing it wrong but i got it now 👌

Answer 3

Although what Lisa said about tuples is correct, there are still ways in which you can edit tuples

Answer 4

You would have to create a new tuple/ overwrite the previous one. Or something more hacky. 😉

Answer 5

Lisa yes, which is a pain... Inefficient
