When should I use lists or tuples in Python?

Can you explain when to use lists or tuples in Python?

Sure! Use lists when you need a mutable sequence, and tuples when you need an immutable one.

What does mutable and immutable mean?

Mutable means you can change the object after it's created, while immutable means it cannot be changed.

Can you give me examples of when to use each?

Of course! Use lists for collections of items that may change, like a shopping list. Use tuples for fixed data, like coordinates.

Are there performance differences between lists and tuples?

Yes, tuples are generally faster than lists due to their immutability, which allows for optimizations.
