⚖ Comparison Table for Python Data Structures

Data Structure	Make With	Ordered?	Mutable?	Can have duplicates?	Examples
String	`''` or `""` or `str()`	Yes	No	Yes	`"CSW8"`, `str(3.75)`
List	`[ ]` or `list()`	Yes	Yes	Yes	`[12, 9.8]`, `list("ABCDEF")`
Tuple	`( )` or `tuple()`	Yes	No	Yes	`('Tu', 'Th')`, `tuple(['Tu', 'Th'])`
Dictionary	`{ }` or `dict()`	No	Yes	keys: No, values: Yes	`{1: "Mon", 2: "Tue"}`, `dict(Mon = 1, Tue = 2)`
Set	`{ }` or `set()`	No	Yes	No	`{"Jan", "Feb", "Feb"}`, `set("ABCDEF")`

The constructor functions are usually used to create an empty object or a new object of that type with the input values of a different type converted into its elements.
