Chapter-8 Tuples PDF

The document provides information about tuples in Python. It discusses that tuples are immutable sequences that can contain elements of different types. It describes how to create, access, traverse, perform operations like joining and slicing on tuples. It also covers unpacking/packing tuples, comparing tuples, and built-in functions that can be used on tuples like len(), max(), min() etc.

Tuples

• A tuple is a standard datatype of Python that can store a


sequence of values belonging to any type.
• These are immutable sequences of Python i.e. you cannot
change elements of a tuple in place.
• These are depicted through parenthesis i.e. round
brackets, e.g. following are some tuples in Python
• ()
• (1,2,3,4)
• (‘a’,’b’,’c’)
• (“alok”,”isha”,”bhavna”,”gaurav“)

Creating Tuples

• Creating a tuple is similar to list creation, but we need to


put a number of expression in parenthesis.
• T=() # empty tuple

• T=(1,2,3,4,5) # tuple of integer values

• T=(23.5, 45, “class 11”) # mixed tuple

• T=(1,2,(2,1),5,3) # nested tuple

Computer Science – Class XI


Accessing Tuples

• The tuples are very much similar to list. The elements are
accessed by their index number from 0 to len-1 in forward
direction and from -1, -2, … to –len in backward direction.
>>> t=(1,2,3,4)
>>> t[0] # will give 1
>>> t[3] # will give 4
>>> t[-1] # will also give 4
• len(tuple-name) is used to find the length of tuple

Traversing a Tuples

• Traversal a sequence means accessing and processing each


element of it.
>>> s="Demo"
>>> t=tuple(s)
>>> t
('D', 'e', 'm', 'o')
>>> for i in range (len(t)):
print (t[i])

D
e
m
o

Computer Science – Class XI


Traversing a Tuples

• Another Example:
>>> t=("Hello","this","is","a","pen")
>>> t # ('Hello', 'this', 'is', 'a', 'pen')
>>> for i in range (0, len(t)):
print ("Index ->",i,"Element ->",t[i])

Index -> 0 Element -> Hello


Index -> 1 Element -> this
Index -> 2 Element -> is
Index -> 3 Element -> a
Index -> 4 Element -> pen

Tuples Operation

• Joining tuples
>>> t1=(1,2,3)
>>> t2=(11,2,34,2)
>>> t3=t1+t2
>>> t3
(1, 2, 3, 11, 2, 34, 2)

Computer Science – Class XI


Tuples Operation

• The + operator when used with tuples requires that both


the operands must be of tuple type. You cannot add a
number or any other value to a tuple. The following will
produce an ERROR:
• tuple + number eg: tpl1 + 2
• tuple + complex number eg: tpl1 + (2+3j)
• tuple + string eg: tpl1 + “HELLO”
• tuple + list eg: tpl1 + [34,55,33]

Computer Science – Class XI


Repeating or Replicating Tuples

• Like string and lists, we can use ‘*’ operator to replicate a


tuple specified number of times. eg:
>>> t1=(1,2,3)
>>> t1*3
(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)
>>> t1
(1, 2, 3)
>>> t1*=3
>>> t1
(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

Computer Science – Class XI


Slicing the Tuples

• Tuple slices, like list-slice or string slices are the sub parts of
the tuple extracted out. We can use indexes of tuple elements
to create tuple slice as per following format:
seq = tuple [start : end]
seq = tuple [start : end : step]
t1 = (12,51,45,14,15,47,16,95,47,15,25)
>>> s1=t1[3:-4]
>>> s1 # will print (14, 15, 47, 16)
>>> s2=t1[1:len(t1):2]
>>> s2 # will print (51, 14, 47, 95, 15)

Computer Science – Class XI


Comparing tuples

• We can compare two tuples without having to write code with loops for
it. We can use comparison operator for it
>>> t1=(2,3)
>>> t2=(2,3)
>>> t3=('2','3')
>>> t4=(5,2)
>>> t5=(2,3,4)
>>> t1==t2 # True
>>> t1==t3 # False
>>> t4<t2 # False
>>> t4>t5 # True
>>> t4==t5 # False

Unpacking/packing tuples

• Creating a tuple from a set of values is called packing and


its reverse, i.e. creating individual values from a tuple’s
elements is called unpacking.
<variable1>,<var 2>,<var 3> = tuple

• Tuples unpacking requires that the list of variables on the


left has the same number of elements as the length of the
tuple.

Unpacking/packing tuples

• Example:
>>> t1=(21,34,22)
>>> x,y,z = t1
>>> print (x)
21
>>> print (y)
34
>>> print (z)
22

Tuples functions / methods

1. len () : it returns the length of the tuple.


t=(10,12,34,14)
le=len(t) # will return 4
2. max () : it returns the maximum value from the tuple.
mx=max(t) # will return 34
3. min () : it returns the minimum value from the tuple.
mi=min(t) # will return 10

Tuples functions / methods

4. Index () : returns index of an existing element of a tuple.


t=(10,12,34,14)
ind=t.index(34) # will return 2
5. count () : returns the count of an element of a tuple.
ctr=t.count(34) # will return 1
6. tuple () : this method can be used to create tuple from
different types of values.

Tuples functions / methods

6.1 creating emtpy tuple


t=tuple()
6.2 creating tuple from a list
t=tuple([1,2,3])
print (t) # t=(1,2,3)
6.3 creating tuple from a string
t=tuple(‘Hello’) # t=(‘H’,’e’,’l’,’l’,’o’)
6.4 creating a tuple from keys of a dictionary
t=tuple({1: ’one’, 2:’two’}) # t=(1,2)

Indirectly modifying tuples

1. Using tuple unpacking : tuples are immutables. To


change the value, we would need to first unpack it,
change the value, and then again repack it. Example:
>>> t1=(10,20,30)
>>> t1 # (10, 20, 30)
>>> x,y,z=t1
>>> y=1500
>>> t1=(x,y,z)
>>> t1 # (10, 1500, 30)

Indirectly modifying tuples

2. Using the constructor function of lists and tuple i.e. list()


and tuple()
>>> t=("swatantra","alok","divyansh")
>>> t # ('swatantra', 'alok', 'divyansh')
>>> L=list(t)
>>> L # ['swatantra', 'alok', 'divyansh']
>>> L[1]="Aditya"
>>> t=tuple(L)
>>> t # ('swatantra', 'Aditya', 'divyansh')

Some important questions . . .

1. How are tuples different from a list when both are


sequences?
2. Create the following tuple using a for loop
1. A tuple containg sequence of integers from 1 to 50.
2. The tuple (‘a’, ‘bb’, ‘ccc’, . . . . ) that ends with 26 copies of
the letter ‘z’.
3. Given a tuple pair ((2,5),(4,2),(9,8),(12,10)), count the
number of pairs (a,b) such that both a and b are even.
4. What is the length of the tuple shown below:
t=((((‘a’,1),’b’,’c’),‘d’,2),‘e’,3)
