Lists allow you to store a collection of items that can be modified, while tuples are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed. In this chapter, you\u2019ll learn about basic list operations like slicing, appending, and removing elements, as well as useful list methods like <code>count()<\/code>, <code>sort()<\/code>, and <code>reverse()<\/code>. We\u2019ll also cover tuples and their key features, such as concatenation and indexing.
