What's the difference between lists and tuples?

Lists and tuples are both used to store multiple items in a single variable, but they are different in a few key ways.

A list is defined using square brackets [] and items in a list are separated by commas. Lists are mutable, which means their elements can be modified after they are created.

A tuple is defined using parentheses () and items in a tuple are separated by commas. Tuples are immutable, which means their elements cannot be modified after they are created.

Here is an example of a list and a tuple:
