What is the time complexity of different Python collections?

Can you explain the time complexity of lists in Python?

Sure! In Python, the average time complexity for accessing an element in a list is O(1), while appending an element is O(1) on average, but inserting or deleting an element can take O(n) time.

What about dictionaries? How do they compare?

Dictionaries in Python have an average time complexity of O(1) for lookups, insertions, and deletions due to their underlying hash table implementation.

And sets? Are they similar to dictionaries?

Yes, sets are similar to dictionaries in terms of time complexity. They also have an average time complexity of O(1) for lookups, insertions, and deletions.

What about the time complexity of tuples?

Tuples are immutable, so their time complexity for accessing elements is O(1), but since you can't modify them, there's no insertion or deletion time complexity.
