Definitions
- Used in computer programming to describe an ordered collection of elements. - Refers to a fixed-size and immutable sequence of values. - Often used to group related data together for efficient processing or storage.
- Refers to an ordered collection of elements. - Can be of any size and can be mutable or immutable. - Often used in computer programming to represent data that needs to be processed in a specific order.
List of Similarities
- 1Both refer to an ordered collection of elements.
- 2Both can be used in computer programming.
- 3Both can be used to group related data together.
- 4Both can be indexed to access individual elements.
- 5Both can contain elements of different data types.
What is the difference?
- 1Size: Tuple has a fixed size, while sequence can be of any size.
- 2Mutability: Tuple is immutable, while sequence can be mutable or immutable.
- 3Purpose: Tuple is often used to group related data together for efficient processing or storage, while sequence is often used to represent data that needs to be processed in a specific order.
- 4Indexing: Tuple is indexed using integers starting from 0, while sequence can be indexed using any hashable object.
- 5Syntax: Tuple is defined using parentheses, while sequence is defined using square brackets.
Remember this!
Tuple and sequence are both used to represent an ordered collection of elements, but they differ in size, mutability, purpose, indexing, and syntax. A tuple is a fixed-size and immutable sequence of values, often used to group related data together for efficient processing or storage. A sequence can be of any size and can be mutable or immutable, often used to represent data that needs to be processed in a specific order.
