Summary

To summarize, you need to remember that Python data structures include lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. Python provides these structures to enable you to code better as a developer. In this chapter, you have covered lists, which are one of the important data types in Python that store multiple objects, and also other data types, such as dictionaries, tuples, and sets. Each of these data types helps us to store and retrieve data effectively.

Data structures are an essential part of all programming languages. Most programming languages only provide basic data types to store different types of numbers, strings, and Booleans, as you learned in Chapter 1, Vital Python - Math, Strings, Conditionals, and Loops. They are an essential part of any program. In this chapter, you learned how to utilize advanced data structures such as nested lists and mixed data types, and lists with dictionaries — structures that you can use to store complex data.
