Python元组与列表的区别

Python元组与列表的区别

1. Literal（字面意义的）

someTuple = (1,2)
someList  = [1,2]

2. Size（大小）

a = tuple(range(1000))
b = list(range(1000))

a.__sizeof__() # 8024
b.__sizeof__() # 9088

Due to the smaller size of a tuple operation, it becomes a bit faster, but not that much to mention about until you have a huge number of elements.

3. Permitted operations（允许操作）

b    = [1,2]   
b[0] = 3       # [3, 2]

a    = (1,2)
a[0] = 3       # Error

That also means that you can’t delete an element or sort a tuple. However, you could add new element to both list and tuple with the only difference that you will change id of the tuple by adding element

a     = (1,2)
b     = [1,2]  

id(a)          # 140230916716520
id(b)          # 748527696

a   += (3,)    # (1, 2, 3)
b   += [3]     # [1, 2, 3]

id(a)          # 140230916878160
id(b)          # 748527696

4. Usage（用法）

As a list is mutable, it can’t be used as a key in a dictionary, whereas a tuple can be used.

a    = (1,2)
b    = [1,2] 

c = {a: 1}     # OK
c = {b: 1}     # Error
