A tuple is an ordered, immutable collection of elements, where each element can be of a different data type. Tuples are similar to lists, but the main difference is that tuples are immutable, which means that once they are created, their contents cannot be modified.

Tuples are useful for storing and passing around related pieces of data, such as a person’s name, age, and address. They can also be used to return multiple values from a function or to store a fixed set of values that will not change over the course of a program.

In Python, tuples are denoted by parentheses () and elements are separated by commas. Here is an example of a tuple in Python:
person = (“Alice”, 25, “123 Main St”)
This tuple has three elements: “Alice”, 25, and “123 Main St”. You can access individual elements of a tuple using indexing, like this:
print(person[0]) # Output: Alice
This will print the first element of the tuple, which is “Alice”. Because tuples are immutable, you cannot modify their contents directly. However, you can create a new tuple by concatenating existing tuples or by using slicing and concatenation operations.
