>> Nina Zakharenko: As side note you can do unpacking kind of the variables with a list, but it's a lot less common. Returning kind of a list from a function isn't quiet as safe because you know that it's emutable, right? Maybe it'll get changed later down the line, and you won't quite know what to expect.

So I recap of tools. We have the cheat sheet right here. What are they used for? Storing a snapshot of related items. That belong to a record maybe.

Common methods, you can't add or remove from tuples but the order is preserved. Is it mutable? No, is it in-place sortable? No, because it's not mutable, right. These things are typed together.
