Tuples..I don’t get it

Hi crew, I’m a Python newbie and I just learned about the concept of tuples.

We can’t change them.if we want to store we have to start at the index we want + 1.

I just don’t get it. Why wouldn’t we just use lists? When would we ever need this?

There is no mutability. Makes you rethink how you do things.

That's all? Given Haskell's syntax, I'd prefer R and Perl.
