How do I create immutable objects in Python?

In Python, you can create immutable objects using tuples or by defining a class with properties that cannot be changed.

Can you show me an example of an immutable class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class ImmutablePoint:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self._x = x
        self._y = y

    @property
    def x(self):
        return self._x

    @property
    def y(self):
        return self._y

This class defines a point with immutable x and y coordinates.

What happens if I try to change the values of x or y?

If you try to change the values of x or y, you'll get an AttributeError because the properties are read-only.

Are there any built-in immutable types in Python?

Yes, the most common built-in immutable types in Python are strings, tuples, and frozensets.
