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.
