Built in data structures in python

- 2. www.letthedataconfess.com The data structure is the way of organising the data in such a way that it can be retrieved quickly. But one data structure is not sufficient to handle all the use case scenarios. That is why we have multiple data structures which can be used for various use cases. What is meant by Data structure ? @letthedataconfess
- 3. www.letthedataconfess.com Why do we need Data structure ? Consider the following scenario, where you want to search for a particular document in file explorer with over 1000 documents stored. One way to do that is by going one by one in a linear way, which is time-consuming. Another way is to jump directly go to that place where it is stored or where the related documents are present. Yes your OS does this, using indexing and hashtables which is a type of data structure. This reduces the time required to search even if there lots of file present. This is why data structures are important. @letthedataconfess

It's a heterogeneous collection of data which means it can store items of different data types. The list comes with multiple methods to perform operations on them. @letthedataconfess

Tuples A tuple is another data structure that is almost similar to a list except that they are immutable, which means once created then, tuple elements cannot be manipulated means you cannot add or remove elements to it. But you can get the counts and indexes of the elements present. @letthedataconfess

Dictionary is an unordered collection of data that are mutable means, you can add or update the existing values for a given key. @letthedataconfess
- 10. This is another type of data structure on which we can perform set operation like union, intersection, difference, etc. Set doesn't allow duplicate entries. Each value in a set is unique. It's also an unordered collection. www.letthedataconfess.com 04. Sets @letthedataconfess
