1. Introduction

In this blog post, we will write a Python program to convert a list into a tuple using thetuple() function. This conversion is a common task in Python, as it allows us to switch between mutable and immutable data types, depending on the requirements of our program.

2. Program Steps

1. Define a list with some elements.

2. Use thetuple() function to convert the list into a tuple.

3. Return or print the tuple.

3. Code Program

def convert_list_to_tuple(input_list):    # Step 2: Convert the list to a tuple    output_tuple = tuple(input_list)    # Step 3: Return the tuple    return output_tuple# Step 1: Define a listoriginal_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]converted_tuple = convert_list_to_tuple(original_list)print("Converted Tuple:", converted_tuple)

Output:

For the original list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], the output will be:Converted Tuple: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Explanation:

1. The functionconvert_list_to_tuple is defined to accept a list,input_list, as its parameter.

2. Inside the function, thetuple() function is called withinput_list as an argument. This function takes an iterable (in this case, the list) and converts it into a tuple.

3. The new tuple,output_tuple, is then returned. When the function is called with the list[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], it returns a tuple(1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

4. Converting a list to a tuple is useful when a non-modifiable (immutable) version of the list is needed. Tuples are faster and consume less memory compared to lists, making them preferable in scenarios where data integrity and performance are key.

This program shows a straightforward way to convert a list to a tuple in Python, demonstrating how to work with different types of collections and their properties.
