List and Tuple in Python are the classes of Python Data Structures. The list is dynamic, whereas the tuple has static characteristics. This means that lists can be modified whereas tuples cannot be modified, the tuple is faster than the list because of static in nature. Lists are denoted by the square brackets but tuples are denoted as parenthesis.
Important differences between list and tuple are stated below
LIST | TUPLE |
---|---|
Lists are mutable | Tuples are immutable |
The implication of iterations is Time-consuming | The implication of iterations is comparatively Faster |
The list is better for performing operations, such as insertion and deletion. | Tuple data type is appropriate for accessing the elements |
Lists consume more memory | Tuple consumes less memory as compared to the list |
Lists have several built-in methods | Tuple does not have many built-in methods. |
The unexpected changes and errors are more likely to occur | In tuple, it is hard to take place. |
