Mutable vs Immutable in Python

In Python, mutable objects can be modified after creation, including lists, dictionaries, and sets, while immutable objects cannot be changed once created, such as integers, floats, strings, and tuples. Examples illustrate how mutable lists can be altered and how immutable strings can only be reassigned. Understanding these concepts is essential for effective programming in Python.
