Python Programming: Data Structures

Python provides several built-in data structures that make programming efficient.

3. Dictionaries: Key-value pairs for fast lookups. Example: student = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 20}
Dictionaries are hash maps and allow efficient data retrieval.

Applications: - Lists for dynamic data manipulation. - Tuples for representing coordinates or
constants. - Dictionaries for databases, JSON data, or mappings. - Sets for uniqueness checking
and set theory operations.
1. Lists: Ordered, mutable collections. Example: fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'] Lists allow
indexing, slicing, and dynamic resizing.

4. Sets: Unordered collections of unique elements. Example: numbers = {1, 2, 3} Sets are useful for
membership tests and eliminating duplicates.

Conclusion: Mastering these structures is essential for efficient Python programming and problem
solving.
2. Tuples: Ordered, immutable collections. Example: point = (3, 4) Tuples are useful for fixed data
and function returns.

Advanced Structures: - List comprehensions for concise code. - Nested dictionaries for hierarchical
data. - defaultdict and Counter from collections module.
