Exploring data structures in Python

In any language, data structures are used to store and manipulate complex data. In Python, data structures are storage containers to manage, organize, and search data in an efficient way. They are used to store a group of data elements called collections that need to be stored and processed together. In Python, there are five various data structures that can be used to store collections:

• Lists: Ordered mutable sequences of elements
• Tuples: Ordered immutable sequences of elements 
• Sets: Unordered bags of elements
• Dictionary: Unordered bags of key-value pairs
• Data frames: Two-dimensional structures to store two-dimensional data

Let's look into them in more detail in the upcoming subsections.
