Difference between List, Tuple, Dictionary, and Set in Python

This article is created to differentiate the four built-in data types of Python, that are used to store collection of data. The four built-in data types, that are differentiated here, are:

list
tuple
dictionary
set

The table given below, differentiates among above four data types of Python, in brief.

List	Tuple	Dictionary	Set
ordered	ordered	ordered	unordered
changeable (mutable)	unchangeable (immutable)	changeable	mutable if created with set immutable if created with frozenset
allows duplicates	allows duplicates	does not allows duplicates	does not allows duplicates
List items enclosed within [ ]	Tuple items enclosed within ( )	Dictionary items enclosed within { }	Set items enclosed within { }
List can be created using list()	Tuple can be created using tuple()	Dictionary can be created using dict()	Set can be created using set()
