Python Lists Tuples Sets Guide

The document provides a comprehensive guide on Python Lists, Tuples, and Sets, detailing their characteristics, syntax, common operations, and examples. Lists are ordered, mutable, and allow duplicates; tuples are ordered, immutable, and also allow duplicates; while sets are unordered, mutable, and do not allow duplicates. It also includes conversion methods between these data types and a comparison table highlighting their features.

Python Lists, Tuples, and Sets - Complete Guide

Python Lists, Tuples, and Sets - Complete Guide

LISTS

- Ordered, mutable, allows duplicates

- Syntax: my_list = [1, 2, 3]

Common operations:

- my_list[0], my_list.append(x), my_list.remove(x), len(my_list), my_list.sort(), etc.

Example:

fruits = ["apple", "banana"]

fruits.append("orange")

print(fruits) # ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']

TUPLES

- Ordered, immutable, allows duplicates

- Syntax: my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

Common operations:

- my_tuple[0], my_tuple.count(x), my_tuple.index(x), len(my_tuple)

Example:

person = ("Alice", 30)

print(person[0]) # Alice

SETS

- Unordered, mutable, no duplicates

- Syntax: my_set = {1, 2, 3}

Common operations:

- my_set.add(x), my_set.remove(x), set1 | set2, set1 & set2

Example:

colors = {"red", "green"}

colors.add("blue")

print(colors) # {'red', 'green', 'blue'}

CONVERSION

List to Tuple: tuple(my_list)

Tuple to List: list(my_tuple)

List to Set: set(my_list)

Set to List: list(my_set)

Tuple to Set: set(my_tuple)

Set to Tuple: tuple(my_set)

Use sorted() to maintain order when needed:

sorted(list(set))
