Tuples are very similar to lists. They are used to store multiple pieces of information, but there is a small difference between tuples and lists:
names = "Lisa", "Bob" # first representation
names2 = ("John", "Rolf") # second representation
another_tuple = "Jen", # third representation, a comma at the end tells to create a tuple
You cannot append to a tuple directly. What you can do is:
names = names + ("Anne",)
Tuples are useful if you want to keep them unchanged.
