How does Python store tuples internally that allows for their hashable property?
- Tuples are stored as a linked list.
- Tuples are stored as a sequence of bytes.
- Tuples use a hash function.
- Tuples use a unique identifier.
Python stores tuples internally as a sequence of bytes, and this immutability allows them to be hashable. The hash value is computed from the content of the tuple, making them suitable for use as keys in dictionaries.
