Python 13 Tuples

Tuples are immutable collections defined by elements enclosed in parentheses, with various methods for creation, accessing, and operations. They can be created from sequences, user input, and support operations like concatenation, replication, and counting occurrences. Key functions include max(), min(), and index(), with the note that individual elements cannot be deleted due to their immutable nature.

Tuples :

Tuples are defined by enclosing the elements in parentheses () and is immutable in


nature.

Example :

t=() --→ empty tuple

t = (5,) --→ tuple containing single element

t = (1, 2, 3) --→ tuple containing elements of same data type

t = (‘a’, 1, 2.5, 2.0+3.5j) --→ tuple containing elements belonging to different


datatype

Note :

t = (1) --→ is an integer not a tuple.

Where as t1 = (3,) --→ is a tuple

Creating a tuple

Creating tuple form an existing sequence

variable_name = tuple(sequence)

here a sequence can be a list,dictionary,set,string and range() function


example

Creating tuple by taking user input

method 1 : variable_name = tuple(input(‘ Input message goes here’) )

method 2 : variable_name = eval(input(‘ Input message goes here’) )

Note the difference between the two in first method the value is passed as string
which is converted into tuple whereas in second method the value is passed in form of
tuple.

Accessing tuple elements

• Elements of tuple can be accessed through indexing

• Syntax : tuple_name[index]

eg tup = (1,’a’,3,4.5)

-4 -3 -2 -1 ←-- backward indexing


1 ‘a’ 3 4.5
0 1 2 3

--→ forward indexing


so,

Traversing a Tuple

Traversing is visiting elements of the tuple.


Tuple operation

• Concatenation
• Replication
• max()
• min()
• count()
• del
• index

Concatenation :

• Join two or more tuples only.


• + operator is used to concatenate the tuples

Syntax : tuple1 + tuple2

Replication :

• It replicates tuple elements


• * operator is used to Replicate the tuples
Syntax : tuple * integer_Literal

Note : tup still remains unchanged

max() and min():

• max() function returns the maximum value


• min() function returns the minimum value

Syntax :

• max(tuple_name)
• min(tuple_name)

index() : The method returns the index value of an item. If item not found then error
is generated

syntax :

tuple_name.index(value)
Note : Here index value of 9 is obtained as it is in the tuple, but for 8 value error is
raised as it is not in the tuple.

del :

used to delete tuple. As tuples are immutable objects one cannot delete individual
elements.

Syntax :

del tuple_name

Note : If you try to use the tuple after using del, NameError will be generated
Note :

del tuple_name[index] #deleting an element at a particular index

or

del tuple_name[start : stop] #deleting a range of elements in tuple

will generate an error as individual or range of elements cannot be deleted in tuples.

count() : It is used to count the occurrence of an element in a tuple

Syntax :

tuple_name.count(value)
