Comparison between List and Tuples in Tabular Form

Lists and Tuples are very important data structures in Python.
The Key Difference between List and Tuples is that the List is written in square brackets [ ] while Tuples are written in round brackets ( ).
Also, List is Mutable and Tuple is immutable.
In Python List is just like an array.

List and Tuples Difference

Comparison Chart

	List	Tuples
1	List is mutable	Tuples are immutable
2	List iteration is slower and time-consuming.	Tuples iteration is faster.
3	List is performed well in insertion and deletion operations.	Tuples are performed well in accessing elements operations.
4	List takes more memory	Tuples take less memory.
5	Lists are many built-in methods	Tuples are less in-built methods.
6	In List Error is more likely to happen.	In Tuples Error hardly takes place.
7	Lists can be used to store homogeneous and heterogeneous elements.	Tuples are used to store only heterogeneous elements.

List

Syntax of List:
- ```
list_num = ['1', '2', '3, '4', '5']
```
Example of List:
- ```
list_num = ['1', '2', '3','4','5']
print(list_num)
```
- Output: [‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’]

Tuples

Syntax of Tuples
- ```
tuple_num = ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5')
```
Example of Tuples
- ```
tuple_num = ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5')
print(tuple_num)
```
- Output: (‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’)
