There are many differences that makes list different from tuple. They are-
  • List is mutable, which means that it can’t be utilized as a key in a dictionary. Whereas, tuples are immutable due to which you can’t change the value in a tuple once you have made it.
  • The accurate syntax of tuples is displayed by parentheses {} while the accurate syntax of lists is displayed by square brackets [].
  • Tuples are varied data structures (i.e., their entries contain diverse implications), whereas lists are uniform series.
  • Tuples are for fixed length, lists are for uneven length.
  • Tuples illustrate structure while lists illustrate order.
  • Tuples contain O(N) insert, append, and delete performance while Lists contain O(1) insert, append, and delete performance.
