Data Structures

List, Tuple, Set, and Dictionary are the data structures in python that are used to store and organize the data in an efficient manner. Tuple can be created using tuple() function. Dictonary can be created using dict() function. List is mutable i.e we can make any changes in list().Set can be created using set().

List	Tuple	Set	Dictionary
List is a non-homogeneous data structure which stores the elements in single row and multiple rows and columns	Tuple is also a non-homogeneous data structure which stores single row and multiple rows and columns	Set data structure is also non-homogeneous data structure but stores in single row	Dictionary is also a non-homogeneous data structure which stores key value pairs
List allows duplicate elements	Tuple allows duplicate elements	Set will not allow duplicate elements	Set will not allow duplicate elements but keys are not duplicated
List can be represented by []	Tuple can be represented by( )	Set can be represented by { }	Dictionary can be represented by {}
example: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]	example: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)	example: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}	example: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
List is mutable	Tuple is immutable	Set is mutable, but no duplicates are allowed	Dictionary is mutable. But Keys are not duplicated
orderd	Ordered	unorderd	ordered

# use of list, tuple, set and
# dictonary

# Lists
>>> a = []

# Adding Element into list
>>> a.append(5)
>>> a.append(10)
>>> print("Adding 5 and 10 in list", a)
Adding 5 and 10 in list [5, 10]


# Popping Elements from list
>>> a.pop()
>>> print("Popped one element from list", a)
Popped one element from list [5]


# Set
>>> s = set()

# Adding element into set
>>> s.add(5)
>>> s.add(10)
>>> print("Adding 5 and 10 in set", s)
Adding 5 and 10 in set {10, 5}



# Removing element from set
>>> s.remove(5)
>>> print("Removing 5 from set", s)
Removing 5 from set {10}

# Tuple
>>> l=[5]
>>> t = tuple(l)

# Tuples are immutable
>>> print("Tuple", t)
Tuple (5, )

# Dictonary
>>> d = {}

# Adding the key value pair
>>> d[5] = "Five"
>>> d[10] = "Ten"
>>> print("Dictonary", d)
Dictonary {10: 'Ten', 5: 'Five'}


# Removing key-value pair
>>> del d[10]
>>> print("Dictonary", d)
Dictonary {5: 'Five'}
