When it is required to find the maximum and minimum K elements in a tuple, the ‘sorted’ method is used to sort the elements, and enumerate over them, and get the first and last elements.
Below is the demonstration of the same −
Example
my_tuple = (7, 25, 36, 9, 6, 8)
print("The tuple is : ")
print(my_tuple)
K = 2
print("The value of K has been initialized to ")
print(K)
my_result = []
my_tuple = list(my_tuple)
temp = sorted(my_tuple)
for idx, val in enumerate(temp):
if idx < K or idx >= len(temp) - K:
my_result.append(val)
my_result = tuple(my_result)
print("The result is : " )
print(my_result)Output
The tuple is : (7, 25, 36, 9, 6, 8) The value of K has been initialized to 2 The result is : (6, 7, 25, 36)
Explanation
A tuple is defined, and is displayed on the console.
The value of K is defined.
An empty list is defined.
The tuple is converted to a list.
It is sorted and stored in a variable.
This is iterated over, and if it is less than K or greater than difference between length of list and K, it is appended to the empty list.
This is the output that is displayed on the console.
