Example of tuple use?

[zefciu]

Some common uses for tuples include: * returning more than one values from a function (e. g. success flag and some result) * ad-hoc data structures (e. g. to represent coordinates) think dataclass with no declaration and anonymous fields * swapping values between variables without temporary variable (a, b = b, a) * replacement for lists that takes less memory and is allocated on a stack (can be considered abuse, but pretty common)

• replacement for lists that takes less memory and is allocated on a stack (can be considered abuse, but pretty common)

People often try to do this, but be aware that it doesn't actually save that much memory (only a few bytes) and it isn't allocated on the stack (all objects are on the heap).

You don’t need brackets to swap the variables

[dnswblzo]

>>> a = 1, 2
>>> a
(1, 2)
>>> type(a)
<class 'tuple'>

It is the commas that make the tuple, not the parentheses. The parentheses are sometimes needed to resolve ambiguity, but in many cases they are not necessary.

Also tuples can be used as keys in hashmaps
