In this article, we will discuss the difference between list and tuple in Python. List and Tuple are 2 sequence-based data structures in Python. They have their own characteristics and methods. In this article, we will discuss the difference between these 2 data structures. Let us start by discussing the list data structure.<\/p>\n

List in Python<\/h2>\n

A list is a dynamic-sized array in Python. This means that we don\u2019t have to specify the size of the list while we create it; a list can dynamically increase or decrease its size. List in Python is just like a vector in C++ or ArrayList in Java. <\/p>\n

However, the main difference between List and Vector (or ArrayList) is that a list can have items of multiple datatypes in it altogether.<\/p>\n

For instance, consider the list \u201citems\u201d shown above, In one list, we have Strings, int numbers, and a float number. <\/p>\n

A list is created using [ ] brackets. The program to create and print a list is shown below.<\/p>\n
