In Python, data structures are used to store and organize data. There are several built-in data structures in Python, including lists, tuples, and dictionaries.

Lists are ordered collections of items that can be of different types. They are mutable, which means that you can change their content by adding or removing elements. Lists are defined using square brackets ([]), with commas separating the values. For example, a list of integers can be defined as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

Tuples are similar to lists in that they are ordered collections. However, they are immutable, which means that once you create a tuple, you can't change its content. Tuples are defined using parentheses (()), with commas separating the values. For example, a tuple of integers can be defined as (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs. They are mutable, which means that you can add or remove key-value pairs. Dictionaries are defined using curly braces ({}) with colons separating the keys and values, and commas separating the key-value pairs. For example, a dictionary of phone numbers can be defined as {'John': '555-1234', 'Jane': '555-5678'}.

It's important to choose the right data structure for your needs. Lists are useful for ordered collections of items that you want to change, while tuples are useful for ordered collections of items that you don't want to change. Dictionaries are useful for unordered collections of key-value pairs.
