Question
When to use a tuple or dictionary in Python. Give some examples of programming situations mentioning their usefulness.
Solution
Tuples are used to store the data which is not intended to change during the course of the execution of the program. For example, if the name of months is needed in a program, then the same can be stored in the tuple as generally, the names will either be iterated for a loop or referenced sometimes during the execution of the program.
Dictionary is used to store associative data like the student's roll no. and the student's name. Here, roll no. will act as a key to find the corresponding student's name. The position of the data doesn’t matter as the data can easily be searched by using the corresponding key.

A bank is a financial institution that is involved in borrowing and lending money. With advancements in technology, online banking, also known as internet banking allows customers of a bank to conduct a range of financial transactions through the bank’s website anytime, anywhere. As part of the initial investigation, you are suggested to
- collect a bank application form. After careful analysis of the form, identify the information required for opening a savings account. Also, enquire about the rate of interest offered for a saving account.
- The basic two operations performed on an account are Deposit and Withdrawal. Write a menu-driven program that accepts either of the two choices of Deposit and Withdrawal, then accepts an amount, performs the transaction, and accordingly displays the balance. Remember, every bank has a requirement for a minimum balance which needs to be taken care of during withdrawal operations. Enquire about the minimum balance required in your bank.
- Collect the interest rates for opening a fixed deposit in various slabs in a savings bank account. Remember, rates may be different for senior citizens.
Finally, write a menu-driven program having the following options (use functions and appropriate data types):
- Open a savings bank account
- Deposit money
- Withdraw money
- Take details, such as the amount and period for a Fixed Deposit, and display its maturity amount for a particular customer.
