Python Tuples

Tuples are ordered lists of values that can contain different data types. They are defined using parentheses and values separated by commas. Tuples are immutable, meaning the values and order cannot be changed once defined. Common tuple operations include concatenation, repetition, membership testing, and comparisons using operators like ==, !=, >=, etc. Individual items can be accessed using indexing and slices of tuples can be taken.

Tuples

• Definition : A tuple is a finite ordered list of possible different values


which are used to bundle related values together.
• A tuple is defined by values separated by commas enclosed within
parentheses().
• Syntax for Creating Tuple :
• tuple_name=(item_1, item_2, item_3 …., item_n)
• f1=(“Ferrari”, “mercedes”, “renault”, “PSA”)
• The contents and order of items in tuple are the same as they were
when the tuple was created.
• Empty tuple can be created as follows
• >>>empty_tuple = ()
• A tuple with one item is constructed by having a value followed by a
comma.
>>>single_var =‘hello’,
>>>single_var
(‘hello’,)
• Basic Tuple Operations: • Comparison operations
- Concatenation : >>>tuple_1 == tuple_2
- Eg: tuple_1 = (1,3,5,7) • False
- tuple_2 = (2,4,6,8)
>>>tuple_1 != tuple_2
- tuple_1 + tuple_2
• True
- (1,3,5,7,2,4,6,8)
- Repeat number of times: >>>tuple_1 >= tuple_2
Repetition can be achieved • False
using the multiplication symbol. >>>tuple_1 <= tuple_2
- Eg: tuple_1 * 2 • True
- (1,3,5,7,1,3,5,7)
- Membership Operators:
- Eg: 9 in tuple_1
Comparisons supported are
- False
(==, !=, >=, <=, >, <)
- 10 not in tuple_1
- True
• Creating a tuple:
• The built-in function tuple() is used to create a tuple.
• Syntax : tuple([sequence])
• Eg:
>>> variable= “RAJA”
>>> type(variable)
<class ‘str’>
>>> variable2 = tuple(variable)
>>>type(variable2)
<class ‘tuple’>

• We have to convert lists and strings to tuples using tuple() function before concatenation.
• We can have one tuple inside another. Such a tuple is called Nested tuple.
Eg: var2 = (1,3,5,7)
Var 3 = (2,4,6,8)
Nested_var = (var2, var3)
>>>nested_var
((1,3,5,7) , (2,4,6,8))
• Indexing and Slicing in Tuples:
• We can access each item in tuple using indexing.
• Eg: tuple_1 = (“Rose”, “Lotus”, “Sunflower”, “Lilly”, “Hibiscus”)
• Syntax : tuple_name[index]
>>>tuple_1[2]
Rose Lotus Sunflower Lilly Hibiscus
‘Sunflower’
>>>tuple_1[4] 0 1 2 3 4
‘hibiscus’
If we access an element not in the tuple, we get a tuple index out of range error.

Rose Lotus Sunflower Lilly Hibiscus


>>>tuple_1[-3]
‘Sunflower’ -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
• Slicing
• Syntax : tuple_name[start: stop: step]
• Tuple slicing returns a part of the tuple from the start index to the stop index
value, which includes the start index value but excludes the stop index value.
V I B G Y O R
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

>>> colors = (“V”, “I”, “B”, “G”, “Y”, “O”, “R”)


>>>colors
(‘V’, ‘I’, ‘B’, ‘G’, ‘Y’, ‘O’, ‘R’)
>>>colors[1:4]
(‘I’, ‘B’, ‘G’)
>>>colors[::]
(‘V’, ‘I’, ‘B’, ‘G’, ‘Y’, ‘O’, ‘R’)
>>>colors[1:5:2]
(‘I’, ‘G’)
>>>colors[::-1]
(‘R’, ‘O’, ‘Y’, ‘G’, ‘B’, ‘I’, ‘V’)
>>>colors[-5:-2]
(‘B’, ‘G’, ‘Y’)
