    • Tuples are defined using parentheses: example - tuple_example = (1, 2, 3)

    • Lists are defined using square brackets: example - list_example = [1, 2, 3]

    • Tuples cannot be modified after creation (immutable), while lists can be changed (mutable).

  • Q4. What is the program to check for palindromes?
  • Ans. 

    A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. This program checks for such sequences.

    • A simple approach is to reverse the string and compare it with the original.

    • Example: 'madam' is a palindrome because reversing it gives 'madam'.

    • Another example: 'racecar' is a palindrome.

    • Non-example: 'hello' is not a palindrome as reversing it gives 'olleh'.

    • In programming, this can be implemented
