Data Structure: The data  structure is a way to store and organize data in an efficient way. The data structure is a set of algorithms that we can use in any programming language to structure the data in the memory.

Tuple: Tuple is used to store multiple items in a single variable. It is a collection and unchangeable. Tuples are written within round brackets.   Example: Tuple1 = ( "apple" ,  "banana" )          print (Tuple1)  List: A list is used to storing multiple items in a single variable.
