Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 9, Problem 3TF
Explanation of Solution
Dictionary keys can be tuple:
- • In Python, a dictionary is defined as an unordered collection of data.
- • Each element of the dictionary is a key-value pair.
- • For each key, there is a value mapped to it.
- • The keys in dictionary cannot be modified but the values can be modified.
- • Keys in the dictionary must be immutable objects.
- ○ Immutable Object:
- ■ The object that cannot be modified after its creation is the immutable object.
- ■ Examples of immutable objects are list, array, set, and so on.
- ○ Mutable Object:
- ■ The object that can be modified after its creation is the mutable object.
- ■ Examples of mutable objects are integer, float, string, and so on.
- ○ Immutable Object:
- • Tuples are immutable object that cannot be changed after its creation.
- ○ Tuple is a sequence in which elements cannot be changed after assigned.
- ○ Tuple is similar to list and the only difference is that list can modify the elements whereas tuple cannot modify the elements.
- • Since tuples are immutable object, tuple can be a dictionary key...
