Tuple vs List Comparison
📖 Scenario: Imagine you are organizing two types of collections: one that should never change, like the days of the week, and one that can change, like a shopping list.
🎯 Goal: You will create a tuple and a list with the same items, then compare them to see how Python treats these two types differently.
📋 What You'll Learn
Create a tuple called week_days with the days: 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday'
Create a list called shopping_list with the items: 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday'
Create a variable called are_equal that compares week_days and shopping_list using the equality operator
Print the value of are_equal
💡 Why This Matters
🌍 Real World
Tuples are used when you want to store data that should not change, like fixed settings or days of the week. Lists are used when you need to add or remove items, like a shopping list.
💼 Career
Understanding the difference between tuples and lists helps in writing clear and efficient code, which is important in many programming jobs.

1
Create the tuple week_days
Create a tuple called week_days with these exact values: 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday'
Python
Need a hint?

Use parentheses ( ) to create a tuple.

2
Create the list shopping_list
Create a list called shopping_list with these exact values: 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday'
Python
Need a hint?

Use square brackets [ ] to create a list.

3
Compare week_days and shopping_list
Create a variable called are_equal that stores the result of comparing week_days and shopping_list using the == operator
Python
Need a hint?

Use the equality operator == to compare the tuple and list.

4
Print the comparison result
Print the value of the variable are_equal
Python
Need a hint?

Use print(are_equal) to show the result.
