Immutable data types in Python | Basics

Python Immutable data types are objects that cannot be modified and altered. This means after creating an object you can’t add new elements, remove an element, or replace an element.

Here is a list of immutable data types in Python are:

• Tuple
• Int
• Float
• Complex
• Stringfrozen set [note: immutable version of the set]
• Bytes

Example Immutable data types in Python

Simple example code immutable object can’t be changed after it is created.

Tuples are immutable

tup1 = (1, 2, 3)

tup1[0] = 4
print(tup1)

Output:

Strings are immutable

greeting = "Welcome to EyeHunts"

greeting[0] = 'Hello'
print(greeting)

Output: TypeError: ‘str’ object does not support item assignment
