Difference Between List and Tuple in Python

In Python, list and tuple are both used to store a collection of items. However, they differ in mutability, syntax,

and use cases.

Feature List Tuple

Mutability Mutable - can be changed Immutable - cannot be changed

Syntax Uses [ ] Uses ( )

Methods Many (append, remove) Fewer methods

Performance Slightly slower Faster and memory-efficient

Use Case For changeable data For fixed data

Example Code:

my_list = [1, 2, 3]

my_list.append(4) # Works

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

# my_tuple.append(4) # Error: Tuples don't support this

Conclusion: Use lists when you need to modify data. Use tuples for fixed collections that should not change.
