Python: what is the difference between (1,2,3) and [1,2,3], and when should I use each?

Question

In many places, (1,2,3) (a tuple) and [1,2,3] (a list) can be used interchangeably.

When should I use one or the other, and why?

Answer 1

(1,2,3) and [1,2,3] can be used interchangeably in rare conditions.

So (1,2,3) is a tuple and is immutable. Any changes you wish to make need to overwrite the object.

[1,2,3] is a list and elements can be appended and removed.

List has more features than a tuple.
