What is the difference between list and tuples in Python?

LIST

Type - Are mutable (can be edited), it is possible update or delete an item from the list.

Iteration - It is slower than tuples.

Syntax - You use square bracket.

Example:

supermarket_list = ["Cereal", "bread", "avocado", "beef"]
print(supermarket_list)

# Output:
# ['Cereal', 'bread', 'avocado', 'beef']

TUPLES

Type - Are immutable, if you try to modify as a result you will have an error. For example if you try to delete some item you will get an error instead yu have to assign it to a new Tuple.

Iteration - It is faster than list.

Syntax - You use round brackets.

Example:

supermarket_list = ("Cereal", "bread", "avocado", "beef")
print(tuple)

# Output:
# ('Cereal', 'bread', 'avocado', 'beef')
