Tuple assignment, tuple as return value -Sets–Dictionaries

Tuple Assignment

❖ Tuples are immutable sequences.


❖ It is used to store collections of heterogeneous data.
❖ Tuple assignment is a method of assigning multiple values to
multiple variables in a single statement.

Example

a, b = 1, 2

print(a)

# Output: 1

print(b)

# Output: 2

❖ You can also use tuple assignment to swap values without a


temporary variable

Example

a,b=5,10

print('A =',a)

print('B =',b)

a,b=b,a

print('A =',a)

print('B =',b)

Output:

A=5

B = 10

A = 10

B=5

Tuple As Return Value

❖ In Python, functions can only return one value.


❖ Functions in Python can return multiple values using tuples.
❖ This allows you to easily return multiple results from a function.

Example 1:

def get_student_info(name, age, grade):

return (name, age, grade)

student_info = get_student_info("Cyber", 16, "A")

print(student_info[0]) # Output: Cyber

print(student_info[1]) # Output: 16

print(student_info[2]) # Output: A

Example 2:

def get_coordinates():

x=5

y = 10

return x, y

coordinates = get_coordinates()

print(coordinates)

Output: (5, 10)

Benefits of using tuples as return values

• Clarity: It clearly indicates that the function is returning a group of


related values.
• Convenience: It simplifies the process of returning multiple values from
a function.
• Flexibility: You can return values of different data types within the same
tuple.
• Efficiency: Tuples are lightweight and efficient to work

SETS

❖ Sets are unordered collections of unique elements.


❖ They are useful for removing duplicates and performing common
mathematical operations like unions and intersections.
❖ A set is a collection which is unchangeable
Example 1:
a={0,1,1,1,2,3,'A','B','A'}
print(a)
Output:
{0, 1, 2, 3, 'B', 'A'}
Example 2:
V SURESH KUMAR HEAD, COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, SVASC

a={1,2,3,4}
print(a)
a.add(5)
print(a)
a.remove(3)
print(a)
Output:

{1, 2, 3, 4}

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

{1, 2, 4, 5}

DICTIONARIES

Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs. They are indexed by keys, which
can be of any immutable type.

Creating a dictionary:

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

Accessing values:

print(my_dict['name'])

Adding or updating key-value pairs

my_dict['address'] = '123 Main St'


Example:
my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'address':'Erode'}
print(my_dict['name'])
print(my_dict['address'])
V SURESH KUMAR HEAD, COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, SVASC

my_dict['address'] = 'Coimbatore'
print(my_dict['address'])
Output:
Alice
Erode
Coimbatore
Duplicates Not Allowed

Dictionaries cannot have two items with the same key.

Duplicate values will overwrite existing values

Example:

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'address':'Erode', 'age':30}

print(my_dict['name'])

print(my_dict['age'])

print(my_dict['address'])

my_dict['address'] = 'Coimbatore'

print(my_dict['address'])

Output:

Alice

30

Erode

Coimbatore
