| * Classes are the usual means for storing heterogeneous data (e.g. for a student, his name, email, list of attended lectures, etc.). However it is sometimes easier to use tuples instead. The example below illustrates the creation of a tuple and accessing parts of it. | * Classes are the usual means for storing heterogeneous data (e.g. for a student, his name, email, list of attended lectures, etc.).
