Definition

Data structures in Python are ways of organizing and storing data so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently. Python provides several built-in data structures for different types of tasks. Some data types,

  • List
  • Tuple
  • Dictionary
  • Set

Examples

# List

My_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

# Tuple

My_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4)

# Dictionary

My_dict = {"name": "venkat", "age": 55}  

# Set

My_set = {1, 2, 3, 4}

 Features

  • Python provides a range of data structures.
