LEARNING OUTCOMES

After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

Understand the need of Tuples;

Solve problems by using Tuples;
 Get clear idea about Tuple functions; and
Understand the difference between list, dictionary and tuples.

WHAT IS TUPLE?
A tuple is a sequence of values, which can be of any type and they
are indexed by integer. Tuples are just like list, but we can’t change values
of tuples in place. Thus, tuples are immutable.
The index value of tuple starts from 0.

A tuple consists of a number of values separated by commas. For example:

>>> T=10, 20, 30, 40
>>> print (T)
(10, 20, 30, 40)
>>> T=(10, 20, 30, 40)
>>> print (T)
(10, 20, 30, 40)

REMOVING A TUPLE

You cannot remove or delete or update items in a tuple.

Tuples are unchangeable, so you cannot remove items from

it, but you can delete the tuple completely:

NOTE: TUPLES ARE IMMUTABLE

TUPLE METHODS

Python provides two built-in methods that you can use on tuples.

1. count() Method

2. index() Method

13

TUPLE METHODS

1. count() Method
Return the
number of times the
value appears in the
tuple

index() Method returns index of “banana” i.e 1

Tuple

Tuple: an immutable sequence

Very similar to a list
Once it is created it cannot be changed
Format: tuple_name = (item1, item2)
Tuples support operations as lists
 Subscript indexing for retrieving elements
 Methods such as index
 Built in functions such as len, min, max
 Slicing expressions
 The in, +, and * operators

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIST AND TUPLE

LIST TUPLE
Syntax for list is slightly different Syntax for tuple is slightly
comparing with tuple different comparing with lists

Weekdays=[‘Sun’,’Mon’, ‘wed’,46,67] twdays = (‘Sun’, ‘mon', ‘tue', 634)

type(Weekdays) type(twdays)
class<‘lists’> class<‘tuple’>

List uses [ and ] (square brackets) to Tuple uses rounded brackets ( and
bind the elements. ) to bind the elements.

21

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIST AND TUPLE

LIST TUPLE
List can be edited once it is created A tuple is a list which one cannot edit
in python. Lists are mutable data once it is created in Python code. The
structure. tuple is an immutable data structure

More methods or functions are Compare to lists tuples have Less

associated with lists. methods or functions.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUPLE AND DICTIONARY

TUPLE DICTIONARY
Order is maintained. Ordering is not guaranteed.

They are immutable Values in a dictionary can be changed.

They can hold any type, and types Every entry has a key and a value
can be mixed.

23

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUPLE AND DICTIONARY

TUPLE DICTIONARY
Elements are accessed via numeric Elements are accessed using key's
(zero based) indices values

There is a difference in syntax and Differ in syntax, looks bit complicated

looks easy to define tuple when compare with Tuple or lists

PROGRAMS ON
TUPLE

25

PROGRAMS AT EASY LEVEL

1. Write a Python program to create a tuple.

#Create an empty tuple
x = ()
print(x)

#Create an empty tuple with tuple() function

#built-in Python
tuplex = tuple()
print(tuplex)

2. Write a Python program to create a tuple with

different data types

#Create a tuple with different data types

tuplex = ("tuple", False, 3.2, 1)

print(tuplex)

27

3. Write a Python program to unpack a tuple in several variables

#create a tuple
tuplex = (4, 8, 3 )# tuplex = 4, 8, 3
print(tuplex)
n1, n2, n3 = tuplex
#unpack a tuple in variables
print(n1 + n2 + n3)
#the number of variables must be equal to the number of items of the tuple
n1, n2, n3, n4= tuplex #

4. Write a Python program to find the index of an item of a tuple.

#create a tuple
tuplex = tuple("index tuple")
print(tuplex)
#get index of the first item whose value is passed as parameter
index = tuplex.index("e")
print("index of e is ", index)
#define the index from which you want to search
index = tuplex.index("e",5)
print("index of e in range from 5 to end is ", index)

print(index)
#define the segment of the tuple to be searched
index = tuplex.index("e", 3, 6)
print(index)
#if item not exists in the tuple return ValueError Exception
index = tuplex.index("y")

5. Write a Python program to add an item in a tuple.

#create a tuple
tuplex = (4, 6, 2, 8, 3, 1)
print(tuplex)
#tuples are immutable, so you can not add new elements
#using merge of tuples with the + operator you can add an element and it will create a new tuple
tuplex = tuplex + (9,)
print(tuplex)

33

Create new tuple so that Id of new tuple is

different with the original tuple

#adding items in a specific index
tuplex =(4, 6, 2, 8, 3, 1)
tuplex = tuplex[:5] + (15, 20, 25) + tuplex[5:]
print(tuplex)
#converting the tuple to list
listx = list(tuplex)
#use different ways to add items in list
