5.1.11 - Tuples

Similar to arrays, but immutable and initialise with parentheses We can only index them, but we cannot modify them

tup = (1, 2, 3)
tup[1]
tup[1] = 0 # DOES NOT WORK

Tuples are mainly used as keys for a hashmap or hashset

mymap = { (1, 2): 3 }
 
myset = set()
myset.add((1, 2))
print((1, 2) in myset)

We use tuples because lists cannot be keys, they are not hashable
