A tuple is a data structure used in programming to store a collection of items. It is similar to a list but has some key differences: 1. **Immutability**: Once a tuple is created, its elements cannot be changed, added, or removed. This makes tuples suitable for fixed collections of items where immutability is required. 2. **Syntax**: In Python, for example, tuples are created by placing a comma-separated sequence of items inside parentheses.
