This is a very easy topic and I’ll explain it in a very easy way.
To identify a list and a tuple just look at this example:
A tuple can be write withouth the “[” “]”, and also you can use “(” “)”, so it is the same if you write:
x = 1,2,3,4
or
x = (1,2,3,4)
But for lists you’ll need to write it with “[” “]”
y = [5,6,7,8]
And now, you can use these lists and tuples in several ways, but I’m going to show the easiest way to use them, and we are going to ask for a number in a certain for position, and for this you need to know that python starts counting from 0.
