Explain differences between Python list and tuple

What are the main differences between a Python list and a tuple?

Address:

• Mutability and what it implies
• High-level performance and memory trade-offs
• Common use cases
• Hashability and when a tuple can be used as a dictionary key
• One short code example that illustrates an important difference

Overview: Tests understanding of Python data structures—specifically lists versus tuples—by asking about mutability and its consequences, broad performance and memory differences, common use cases, and hashability when used as dictionary keys.
