In Python, lists and tuples are both used to store collections of items, but they
have some key differences:

Key Differences between List and Tuple

List:
• Mutable, meaning you can modify (add, remove, or change) elements.
• Defined with square brackets [].
• Slower compared to tuples in some operations due to mutability.
• Used when the collection of items needs to be changed.

Code:
# Defining a List
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

print("Original List:", my_list)

# Modifying the List (mutable)

my_list[2] = 10

my_list.append(5)

print("Modified List:", my_list)

Output:
Original List: [1, 2, 3, 4]

Modified List: [1, 2, 10, 4, 5]


Tuple:
• Immutable, meaning you cannot modify its elements after it is created.
• Defined with parentheses ().
• Slightly faster because of immutability.
• Used for fixed data that should not be changed, like coordinates or
constant values.

Code:
# Defining a Tuple

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4)

print("\nOriginal Tuple:", my_tuple)

# Trying to Modify the Tuple (immutable)


try:

my_tuple[2] = 10 # This will raise an error


except TypeError as e:

print("Error:", e)
# Tuples are immutable, so you cannot add or change items.

Output:
Original Tuple: (1, 2, 3, 4)

Error: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
