Learning Python-Basic course: Day 11, Multidimensional lists and Tuples
Multidimensional lists or fondly called list of lists can be made using the following syntax
list=[[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[3,4,5]]This creates a 3 by 3 list. However, in the memory, the values are stored sequentially.
Let us now see a sample to get things clear

>>> list=[[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[3,4,5]]
>>> print(list[1])
[2, 3, 4]
>>> print(len(list))
3
>>> print(list[2][1])
4
>>> print(len(list[0]))
3
>>> print(list)
[[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5]]
>>> for i in range(0,len(list)):
... for j in range(0,len(list[i])):
... print(list[i][j])

345The last statement is the mysterious way python implements it's syntax. Rather than writing in range, we can easily take this shortcut.
We can create multidimensional lists dynamically. Here is a sample showing how to.
a=[]
r=int(input("Please enter the number of rows "))
c=int(input("Please enter the number of columns "))
for i in range(r):
#Append an empty sublist
a.append([])
for j in range(c):
num=int(input("Enter a value "))
a[i].append(num)
print(a)
for i in a:
for j in i:
print(j, end="\t")
#here, "\t" stands for tab, i.e. leave spaces
print()Output-
Please enter the number of rows 3
Please enter the number of columns 2
Enter a value 1
Enter a value 2
Enter a value 3
Enter a value 4
Enter a value 5
Enter a value 6
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

5 6Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable. A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable.
In other words the basic difference between list and tuple is that list is mutable, while tuple is not. No one can't modify tuple later. Tuple is a predefined (fixed) list.
In similar way, we can make tuples of tuples or tuples of lists too!

Here is a sample
>>> a=('Aatmaj','Zephyr',163,'1234')
>>> b=(1,2,3,4,5)
>>> c='a','b','c','d'
>>> print(a)
('Aatmaj', 'Zephyr', 163, '1234')
>>> print(len(a))
4
>>> print(a[3])
1234
>>> d=((1,2,3),a,b,('a','c','2',5))
>>> print(d)
((1, 2, 3), ('Aatmaj', 'Zephyr', 163, '1234'), (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), ('a', 'c', '2', 5))
>>> print(len(d))
4
>>> print(len(d[1]))
4
>>> print(d[2][3])
4
>>> print(d[4][2])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: tuple index out of range
>>> a.append(3)
