A tuple is a data structure that is an immutable, or unchangeable, ordered sequence of elements. Because tuples are immutable, their values cannot be modified.[2]
As a general rule, tuples use less memory than a list or array.
Tuples allows for slicing and indexing like lists, but do not have access for deleting or changing any elements.
Example[edit]
# creating a tuple
mySiblings = ('Susan', 'James', 'Bryan')
# accessing an element within a tuple:
mySiblings[2]
