Immutable datatypes(int, float, str, tuple and frozensets)

Individual characters of strings are not assignable

Section titled “Individual characters of strings are not assignable”
foo = "bar"
foo[0] = "c" # Error

Immutable variable value can not be changed once they are created.

Tuple’s individual members aren’t assignable

Section titled “Tuple’s individual members aren’t assignable”
foo = ("bar", 1, "Hello!",)
foo[1] = 2 # ERROR!!

Second line would return an error since tuple members once created aren’t assignable. Because of tuple’s immutability.

Frozenset’s are immutable and not assignable

Section titled “Frozenset’s are immutable and not assignable”
foo = frozenset(["bar", 1, "Hello!"])
foo[2] = 7 # ERROR
foo.add(3) # ERROR

Second line would return an error since frozenset members once created aren’t assignable. Third line would return error as frozensets do not support functions that can manipulate members.
