Learn Python • #8 Tuples and Sets • More Ways To Store Data! pixegami 2023-04-03 | Tuples and Sets are two important data structures in Python that you'll definitely want to know about.Tuples are immutable sequences of elements, typically used for grouping related data. Sets, on the other hand, are mutable collections of unique elements. With Sets, it's easy to check if an item is inside that collection. It's also easy to do mathematical operations like "intersection" (finding common elements between two sets) and "union" (finding all elements of two combined sets).This video is part of a beginner tutorial series for anyone who wants to learn Python from scratch, and get to a point where you can start coding your own projects.🔗 Project Code (GitHub): github.com/pixegami/python-for-beginners🔗 Full Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZJBfja3V3Rsbiz84Z63IXnTQZH_Rnfuo🔗 Next Chapter: Coming Tomorrow!👉 Follow me on Twitter: @pixegami📚 Chapters00:00 - Tuples vs Lists01:58 - Tuple Syntax in Python03:36 - Hands-on Coding with Tuples05:45 - Using Tuples as a Dict Key08:02 - Sets in Python14:28 - Coding Exercise: Tuples and Sets
