What is the difference between dictionary and list & dictionary and tuple?

I'm very confused about dictionary. Can anyone please make me clear about dictionaries?

Dictionary: containd key-value pairs example: {"name": "Simon", "age": 20} List: containd ordered values example: ["name", "age] Tuples: immutable, it cannot be changed example: ("name", "age")

Dictionaries are not commonly used, at least to my knowledge. However there are some code that require unique key value pairs as a necessity. They wont fuction otherwise. I dont remember where right now but ı do remember it contains web.

Airree Pratibha Bharti although the Tuple is immutable, if the element in a Tuple is itself a mutable type like a List, its nested contents can be changed.
