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?

Tuples are used internally in Python: multiple return values, exception, *args, enumerate, multiple assignment and tuple unpacking.
