Document Summary

Cse 1010 - introduction to computing for engineers. A list is a collection of values. Values in a list can be changed: A tuple is a collection of values. Values in a tuple can not be changed: Typeerror: tuple" object does not support item assignment. A list is intended for a collection of similar values: temperatures = [65, 67, 74, 68, 61, 59] All of the values in this temperatures list are being referred to a specific temperature. A tuple is intended for different values that are grouped: student = (1002133, keith", kazu", cse", 3) The first item in the tuple can be this student"s id number, then their first name, then their last name, then their major, and then the number of semesters attending a school. When you create a list, python reserves extra space for it in case you need to append values to it.
