Track 6 · Lesson 4 of 12

Tuples and unpacking

Use tuples for fixed records that should not change, unpack them into names, and collect the rest with starred unpacking.

You will be able to

• Create tuples, including one-item and empty tuples, and explain how they differ from lists
• Unpack a tuple or list into separate variables, including in a for loop
• Use starred unpacking to collect the remaining items
• Return several values from a function as a tuple and decide when a tuple fits better than a list
