A **tuple** is another data type in Python that can hold multiple values or variables. These values are separated by commas and wrapped in parentheses. At first, it might seem like tuples are pretty similar to lists, but there are some key differences you should be aware of.

The main distinction lies in mutability: **lists can be modified, but tuples cannot**. You might recall altering a list using the `.extend()` method. These method isn't available for tuples, meaning once a tuple is set, you can't change its contents without creating a new tuple. Plus, tuples are more efficient in terms of speed and memory usage compared to lists. Given their immutability, tuples are often chosen when dealing with sensitive data.

Let's keep working with the example data we've been using:

# Create tuple
US_Info = ("USA", 9629091, 331002651)
print(type(US_Info))

> **Note**
>
> You can also transform an iterable object into a tuple with the `tuple()` function.

# Create a list 
list_variable = [1, 2, 3]
# Convert it into a tuple
tuple_variable = tuple(list_variable)
# Print the type of the converted variable
print(type(tuple_variable))

In this section, you'll dive into the basics of Python, familiarize yourself with your workspace, tackle simple math operations, and display your results.

Here, you'll learn how to store items like numbers and text in computer memory, recalling them by name. You'll also get a taste of text manipulation in Python.

Here, you'll delve into the boolean data type and discover its role in creating programs that respond to specific conditions.

Continuing with data types, this section will teach you how to group varied attributes within a single variable using lists, tuples, and the dictionaries.

In this part, you'll master the art of writing loops in Python – essential constructs for iterating over lists, tuples, dictionaries, and even future dataframes.

To wrap up our introductory course, you'll explore some built-in functions and then embark on creating your very own!
