Functions / Methods on Tuple- min(),max(),sum() contd..
Tuple of string . Maximum and
Minimum is done on the basis
of the ASCII values of the
characters from the beginning.
Eg. ‘A’=65, ‘a’ = 97, ‘b’=98 and
so on

A Tuple with
mixed data
type cannot
return values
for the min,
max and
sum
functions.
 NOTE
Unlike a List object,
an object of Tuple do not have the following
methods:
– Reverse()
– Append()
– Extend()
– Clear()
– Remove()
– Pop()
 Tuple slicing
L[start:stop] creates a Tuple slice out of Tuple T with elements falling between
indexes start and stop, not including value at the stop index.

L[start:stop:step] creates a Tuple slice out of Tuple T with elements falling

between indexes start and stop, not including value at the stop index, and skipping
step elements in between.
NOTE: In absence of any start, stop, step values, we have Default start index as the beginning,
stop index as the last index and step value as +1.

Start index 3, stop index is (10-1=9)

Start index 5, stop index is 50 which is beyond the last index in forward
direction. Hence, it will stop at the last index

Start index -4(backward), stop index is (6-1=5 (forward)). Here, it is

not getting any value in the range, hence empty.
Start index -4(which is ‘Y’ as per the backward index,) stop index is 25
which is beyond the last index. Hence, it will stop at the last index.

Start index 10, stop index is 30 which is beyond the last index
in forward direction. Hence, it will stop at the last index

Start index -10(which is ‘Y’ as per the

backward index,) stop index is 12-
1=11 (forward indexing). Hence, it
will stop at the (stop index-1)., ‘Y’ is
at 11 index no.

Start index -3(backward), stop index is -12(backward). Here, it is not getting any value
in the range as no step value mentioned in reverse. Hence empty.
Start index -12(which is ‘W’ as per the backward index,) stop index is -3 (which takes
values till index -3-1= -4)

Start index -3(backward), stop index is -12(backward). Here, it is getting value in

the range as step value is -1 mentioned in reverse.

Start index -20(which is beyond backward index,) stop index is -5 which takes value till
(-5-1=-6). Here, -6 is ‘N’.

Start index 1, stop index is 13 (till 13-1=12),step

value is 2 in forward direction. Hence, it will
fetch/take alternate elements with a skip of 1
value in between

TRY TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF. A task for you.

? Also write the slice for Tuple to get the output

as

Default start and stop is beginning and end index of the Tuple. Here, step is 3.
