What are the benefits of using named tuples instead of dictionaries to define operators item types?
There are three benefits of using named tuples compared to dictionaries:
- The first is the fact that the named tuples fields can be accessed with a dot notation instead of a dictionary square-bracket-style notation. The dot notation is easier to read and write than the square bracket notation. This makes the code easier to follow.
- The second is the fact that named tuples are more efficient than dictionaries at accessing their fields. This may have a beneficial impact on performance in an application that uses such objects widely.
- The last is the fact that named tuples are immutable. Object immutability is one of the principles used in functional programming. This property allows us to follow this functional programming principle when writing a reactive application.
