TUPLES & SETS:
FIXED AUR UNIQUE DATA

Kabhi kabhi data change nahi hona chahiye � jaise coordinates ya RGB values. Tuple woh collection hai jo ek baar banne ke baad fix rehta hai. Aur Set✓ Woh sirf unique values rakhta hai, duplicates ko kaat deta hai.

WHY: tuples aur sets kyun zaruri hain

Tuples unmutable collections hain jab data change nahi hona chahiye (coordinates, RGB values, function returns). Sets unique values store karte hain aur mathematical set operations support karte hain.

WHAT: tuples aur sets basic syntax

# Tuples
colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
print(colors[0]) # red
print(len(colors)) # 3

# Tuple unpacking
x, y, z = colors
print(x) # red

# Sets
unique_numbers = {1, 2, 3, 2, 1}
print(unique_numbers) # {1, 2, 3}

# Set operations
a = {1, 2, 3}
b = {3, 4, 5}
print(a | b) # union: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
print(a & b) # intersection: {3}

WHEN: tuples aur sets kab use karein

Tuples tab use karo jab data fixed hona chahiye (coordinates, database rows). Sets tab jab duplicates remove karne ho ya set operations (union, intersection) karo.

Useful tuple & set operations

• tuple() list ko tuple mein convert karta hai; set() list ko set mein.
• a | b union deta hai � dono sets ke saare unique items.
• a & b intersection � sirf common items.
• a - b difference � jo pehle mein hai par doosre mein nahi.
• Tuples mein slicing same hai jaise lists mein: colors[0:2].

Common mistakes

• Tuples mein comma zaruri hai � (1) nahi, (1, hai. Brackets sirf grouping dikhate hain.
• Empty set set() se banta hai, {} dict banata hai.
• Tuples immutable hain � colors[0] = "yellow" error karega.
• Set mein order fix nahi hota � har baar different order aa sakta hai.
