- A tuple, also called a sequence, is an ordered list of items, such as
(0,1,1), which is a different tuple from(1,1,0)and(0,1). - A set is a collection of distinct items with no specified order, so
{0,1}represents the same set as{1,0}and{0,1,1}. - An array is a collection of items ordered in any number of dimensions. For example, a tuple is a 1-dimensional array (it takes one index to locate an item), and a matrix is a 2-dimensional array (it takes two indices to locate an item).
