Tuples

• Python Tuple is a collection of objects separated by commas.

• In some ways, a tuple is similar to a Python list in terms of indexing, nested


objects, and repetition but the main difference between both is Python
tuple is immutable, unlike the Python list which is mutable.

❖ Features of Python Tuple


➢ Tuples are an immutable data type, meaning their elements cannot be
changed after they are generated.
➢ Each element in a tuple has a specific order that will never change because
tuples are ordered sequences.

❖ Forming a Tuple:
• All the objects-also known as "elements"-must be separated by a comma,
enclosed in parenthesis ().
• Although parentheses are not required, they are recommended.
• Any number of items, including those with various data types (dictionary,
string, float, list, etc.), can be contained in a tuple.

Example:

# Python program to show how to create a tuple


# Creating an empty tuple
empty_tuple = ()
print("Empty tuple: ", empty_tuple)
1.
# Creating tuple having integers
int_tuple = (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14)
print("Tuple with integers: ", int_tuple)

2.
# Creating a tuple having objects of different data types
Python Programming

print("Tuple with integers: ", int_tuple)


4.
# Creating a tuple having objects of different data types
mixed_tuple = (4, "Python", 9.3)
print("Tuple with different data types: ", mixed_tuple)
5.
# Creating a nested tuple
nested_tuple = ("Python", {4: 5, 6: 2, 8:2}, (5, 3, 5, 6))
print("A nested tuple: ", nested_tuple)

Output:

Empty tuple: ()
Tuple with integers: (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14)
Tuple with different data types: (4, 'Python', 9.3)
A nested tuple: ('Python', {4: 5, 6: 2, 8: 2}, (5, 3, 5, 6))

❖ What is Immutable in Tuples?


• Tuples in Python are similar to Python lists but not entirely.
• Tuples are immutable and ordered and allow duplicate values.

Accessing Values in Python Tuples

• Tuples in Python provide two ways by which we can access the


elements of a tuple.

➢ Python Access Tuple using a Positive Index

Using square brackets we can get the values from tuples in Python.

Example:

var = ("Topper", "World")

print("Value in Var[0] = ", var[0])


print("Value in Var[1] = ", var[1])

Output:

Value in Var[0] = Topper


Value in Var[1] = World

➢ Access Tuple using Negative Index

In the above methods, we use the positive index to access the value in
Python, and here we will use the negative index within [].

Example:
var = (1, 2, 3)
print("Value in Var[-1] = ", var[-1])
print("Value in Var[-2] = ", var[-2])
print("Value in Var[-3] = ", var[-3])

Output:

Value in Var[-1] = 3
Value in Var[-2] = 2
Value in Var[-3] = 1

❖ Tuples in a loop

We can also create a tuple with a single element in it using loops.


Example:
# python code for creating tuples in a loop
tup = ('Topper',)

# Number of time loop runs


n=5
for i in range(int(n)):
tup = (tup,)
print(tup)

Output:

(('Topper',),)
((('Topper',),),)
(((('Topper',),),),)
((((('Topper',),),),),)
(((((('Topper',),),),),),)

❖ Advantages of Tuples
• Tuples take less time than lists do.
• Due to tuples, the code is protected from accidental modifications. It is
desirable to store non-changing information in "tuples" instead of
"records" if a program expects it.

• A tuple can be used as a dictionary key if it contains immutable values like


strings, numbers, or another tuple. "Lists" cannot be utilized as dictionary
keys because they are mutable.
