Tuples

A tuple is like a list — it stores multiple items in one place, in order. The big difference: you can’t change it after you create it. No adding, removing, or swapping items.

That makes tuples great for data that should stay fixed, like a coordinate on a screen or an RGB color value.

Creating a tuple

Put your items inside parentheses (), separated by commas:


point = (100, 200)
color = (255, 128, 0)
days = ("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday")

If your tuple has only one item, add a comma after it — otherwise Python just treats the parentheses as grouping:


single = (42,)   # this is a tuple
not_a_tuple = (42)  # this is just the number 42

Tuples vs. lists

	List	Tuple
Syntax	`[1, 2, 3]`	`(1, 2, 3)`
Can change items?	Yes	No
Good for	Collections that grow or change	Fixed groups of related values

Use a tuple when the values belong together and shouldn’t change — like the (x, y) position of something on screen, or the (red, green, blue) values of a color.
