The difference between list and tuple is list is dynamic, whereas the tuple has static characteristics in Python.
Lists are a useful tool for preserving a sequence of data and further iterating over it and the tuple is faster than the list because of static in nature.
List Syntax
list_data = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']Tuple Syntax
tuple_data = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f')Tabular format difference between list and tuple in Python
The table below includes the basic difference
| # | LIST | TUPLE |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lists are mutable | Tuples are immutable |
| 2 | The implication of iterations is Time-consuming | The implication of iterations is comparatively Faster |
| 3 | The list is better for performing operations, such as insertion and deletion. | Tuple data type is appropriate for accessing the elements |
| 4 | Lists consume more memory | Tuple consume less memory as compared to the list |
| 5 | Lists have several built-in methods | Tuple does not have many built-in methods. |
| 6 | The unexpected changes and errors are more likely to occur | In tuple, it is hard to take place. |
