    Python provides a variety of built-in and advanced data structures to efficiently store, organize, and manipulate data. These structures are essential for solving computational problems and optimizing code performance.

    Built-in Data Structures

    • Lists: Ordered, mutable collections that can store elements of different types. They support operations like indexing, slicing, and appending.

    my_list = [1, 2, 3, "Python"]
    my_list.append(4)
    print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 'Python', 4]
    Copied!

    • Dictionaries: Unordered collections of key-value pairs with O(1) average time complexity for lookups.

    my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}
    print(my_dict["name"]) # Output: Alice
    Copied!

    • Tuples: Immutable sequences, often used for fixed collections of items.

    my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
    print(my_tuple[0]) # Output: 1
    Copied!

    • Sets: Unordered collections of unique elements, useful for membership testing and eliminating duplicates.

    my_set = {1, 2, 3, 3}
    print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3}
    Copied!

    • Strings: Immutable sequences of characters, treated as arrays of Unicode characters.

    How a data structure is used in Computer Science?

    So, an algorithm utilises various data structures in a logical way to solve a specific computing problem. In this tutorial, we will cover these two fundamental concepts of computer science using the Python programming language. This Python Data Structures Tutorial is based on the Latest Python 3.14.2 version.
