List, Tuple, Set and Dictionary

The document compares and contrasts four Python data structures: List, Tuple, Set, and Dictionary. It states that all four are non-homogeneous and can store elements in single or multiple rows/columns. Lists allow duplicates and are ordered/mutable. Tuples are immutable but ordered. Sets do not allow duplicates and are unordered. Dictionaries use keys and values, do not allow duplicate keys, and are ordered as of Python 3.7. Examples are provided for each data structure.
