Lecture 6

Data Structures in Python Programming:


Tuples

M. Asif Farooq

1/8
Mutable and Immutable Objects

An object holds the data and has operations that can manipulate
the data.
Numbers, strings, lists and tuples are objects.
Objects that can be changed in places are called mutable.
Objects that cannot be changed in place are called immutable.

2/8
Defining Tuples

Tuples are immutable


The items should be written in parentheses.
The elements should be separated by comma.

Tuples: Examples
In [54]: t = (3, 4 , 5)
In [55]: print(len(t))
3
In [56]: print(max(t))
5
In [57]: print(min(t))
3
In [58]: print(sum(t))
12
In [59]: t[0]
Out[59]: 3
In [60]: t[0] = t[0] + 3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:1 2760786003402.py ”, line1, in < cellline : 1 >
t[0] = t[0] + 3
TypeError: ’tuple’ object does not support item assignment

Comments on Tuples

The tuple function converts lists or strings to lists.


Tuples are more efficient than lists and should be used in
situations where no changes will be made to the items.
An important feature of Python is dictionary. The dictionary
requires the use of tuples.

Examples: Converting Lists or Strings into Tuples
In [1]: tuple([’fruits’, ’vegetables’])
Out[1]: (’fruits’, ’vegetables’)

In [2]: tuple([2, ’students’])


Out[2]: (2, ’students’)

In [3]: tuple("spam")
Out[3]: (’s’, ’p’, ’a’, ’m’)

In [7]: a[0] + ’t’


Out[7]: ’st’

In [8]: a[0] = a[0] + ’t’


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:1 54450862836.py ”, line1, in < cellline : 1 > a[0] = a[0] +′ t ′
TypeError: ’tuple’ object does not support item assignment

Examples
In [17]: L = [5,6]
In [18]: L.append(7)
In [19]: L
Out[19]: [5, 6, 7]
In [20]: n = 2
In [21]: n+=1
In [22]: n
Out[22]: 3
In [23]: s = "Python"
In [24]: s = s.upper()
In [25]: s
Out[25]: ’PYTHON’
In [26]: t = (’a’, ’b’, ’c’)
In [27]: t = t[1:]
In [28]: t
Out[28]: (’b’, ’c’)
