What are some common use cases for tuples in Python?

Tuples are often used for storing related data, like coordinates or RGB values, and they are immutable, which makes them useful for fixed collections.

Can you give me an example of using tuples in a function?

Sure! You can return multiple values from a function using a tuple. For example:

def get_coordinates():
    return (10, 20)

x, y = get_coordinates()

Why would I choose a tuple over a list?

Tuples are generally faster than lists for iteration and are immutable, which means they can be used as keys in dictionaries.

Are there any drawbacks to using tuples?

The main drawback is that you cannot modify a tuple after it's created, which can be limiting if you need a mutable collection.
