Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
@6I wouldn't be that harsh. 95% of the people trying to code here are under 16. There's definitely an instant gratification problem, but expecting university-level understanding from people who aren't even out of high school and who don't
Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
@5 is exactly right. audiogame devs mostly use lists, because they don't understand fundamental datastructures, how they work, what they should be used for, what they are their space and time cost characteristics, and so on. it's particularly
Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
@4For sets you can just thing in set, for dicts you can just key in dict, and both are basically instantaneous as compared to a list. No iteration required. But lists aren't safe. Lists let you have duplicate items. So in either case you
Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
@camlorn, Most of audiogames devs uses lists for their stuff because it's safe, You will get sure that your data won't get deleted because a key matched another one in the dictionary so boom, Good bye, You could do stuff to avoid

Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
I will also add that the assumption that Sets are unordered isn't true, because there are two main flavors of Sets, namely HashSets and TreeSets. python's default Set is a HashSet, which is unordered. Treesets are ordered, essentially
Re: where should I use python difrint datatypes
There are different data types because they have different performance characteristics, and because they also have semantic meaning.To start with the simplest: a tuple is immutable, meaning that you can't add values or change the values

so hi all, I want to know why do we have sets, tuples and listsso a list is ordered and changeable, a tuple is ordered and unchangeable, and a set is unordered and unchangeablewhere should I use these 3, and why they wont just put lists only, you
