title: The Python Data Structures
|
||
|
|
---
|

|
|
A data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. Python comes with a robust set of inbuilt data structures. Some of the most commonly used ones are :-
|
||
|
|
* Lists
|
||
|
|
* Tuples
|
||
|
|
* Dictionaries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Majorly, the data structures can be divided into two categories :-
|
||
|
|
* Mutable :- A mutable data structure is a structure whose state can be modified after it is created. Python Lists and Dictionaries are mutable.
|
||
|
|
* Immutable :- An immutable data structure can't be modified. Example :- Once a tuple is created, we can't update the values inside it.
