• List:
  • Mutable (can be modified after creation).
  • Enclosed in square brackets [].
  • Ideal for storing collections of items that might change over time.
• Tuple:
  • Immutable (cannot be modified after creation).
  • Enclosed in parentheses ().
  • Useful for storing data that should not change, like coordinates or settings.

Example:

my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

# You can modify a list:
my_list[0] = 100  # Now my_list is [100, 2, 3]

# You cannot modify a tuple (this will throw an error):
my_tuple[0] = 100  # TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
