Python Data Structures: Lists, Tuples, and Dictionaries

Lists
A list in Python is a collection of items that is ordered and mutable. Lists allow duplicate
elements and can store items of different data types.

# Example of a list
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits[0]) # Output: apple

# Adding an item to a list


fruits.append("orange")

# Removing an item
fruits.remove("banana")

# Iterating through a list


for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)

Tuples
A tuple is similar to a list but is immutable. Once created, its values cannot be changed.
Tuples are useful for representing fixed collections of items.

# Example of a tuple
coordinates = (10, 20, 30)
print(coordinates[1]) # Output: 20

# Tuples are immutable


# coordinates[1] = 40 # This will raise an error

# Packing and unpacking tuples


x, y, z = coordinates
print(x, y, z) # Output: 10 20 30
Dictionaries
A dictionary in Python is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key must be unique, and
values can be of any data type. Dictionaries are unordered in Python versions < 3.7, but
ordered in Python 3.7 and later.

# Example of a dictionary
person = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
print(person["name"]) # Output: John

# Adding a key-value pair


person["job"] = "Engineer"

# Removing a key-value pair


del person["age"]

# Iterating through keys and values


for key, value in person.items():
print(f"{key}: {value}")

Comparison of Lists, Tuples, and Dictionaries


1. **Lists**: Ordered, mutable, and allow duplicate elements.
2. **Tuples**: Ordered, immutable, and allow duplicate elements.
3. **Dictionaries**: Unordered (Python < 3.7), ordered (Python 3.7+), mutable, and consist
of unique keys with associated values.
