===Tuples=== | |||
Tuples are immutable lists. This means that have fixed size and fixed elements, though elements themselves may be mutable. | |||
In general, they perform marginally faster than lists so you should use tuples over lists when possible, especially as parameters to functions. | |||

# Tuple with one element | |||
m_tuple = (1,) | |||
# Tuple with multiple elements | |||
vals = (1,2,3, "car") | |||
