Python provides four built-in data structures that are useful for data processing in Colab:
* List
* Tuple
* Set
* Dictionary
The

# List
List is an ordered collection of mutable items (mutable=can be modified). It is the most versatile Python data structure (able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities).
```
listTweetMessage=[[
    1600431822978322437,
    'Big Data',
    'Thursday, December 1, 2022 12:00:00 AM'
]]
```
# Tuple
Tuple is an ordered collection of immutable items (immutable=cannot be modified). As tuples are immutable, they are faster than the list because they are static.
```
tuplTweetMessage=[(
    1600431822978322437,
    'Big Data',
    'Thursday, December 1, 2022 12:00:00 AM'
)]
```
# Set
Set is an unordered collection of unique immutable items. Set is useful to be used as a lookup table.

```
setMediaType={
    'text',
    'image',
    'video',
    'audio',
    'pdf'
}
```
# Dictionary
Dictionary is a type of key-value pairs collection where keys are unique and values are mutable items.

```
dictCountry={
    'uk':'United Kingdom',
    'sp':'Spain',
    'it':'Italy'
}
```
