Tuples

A tuple is an ordered sequence of elements of different data types. Tuples use parentheses and commas to define elements. Elements can be accessed using indexes like lists and strings. Tuples are immutable, meaning elements cannot be changed after creation. However, mutable elements like lists can be modified inside tuples. Tuples can contain other tuples and unpack elements into variables. Common tuple methods include len(), count(), index(), sorted(), min(), max(), and sum().

Tuples

 A tuple is an ordered sequence of elements of different data types, such as integer, float,
string, list or even a tuple.
 Elements of a tuple are enclosed in parenthesis (round brackets) and are separated by
commas.
Tuple of integers : tuple1 = (1,2,3,4,5)
Tuple of mixed data types : tuple2 =('Economics',87,'Accountancy',89.6)
Tuple with list as an element : tuple3 = (10,20,30,[40,50])
Tuple with tuple as an element : tuple4 = (1,2,3,4,5,(10,20))

 Like list and string, elements of a tuple can be accessed using index values, starting from 0.
 If there is only a single element in a tuple then the element should be followed by a comma.
If we assign the value without comma it is treated as integer.
Tup5 = (10) ; type(Tup5)  int
Tup6 = (10,) ; type(Tup6)  tuple

 It should be noted that a sequence without parenthesis is treated as tuple by default.


S = 6,3,8,1; type(S)  tuple
 Elements of a tuple can be accessed in the same way as a list or string using indexing and
slicing.
 Tuple is an immutable data type. It means that the elements of a tuple cannot be changed
after it has been created. An attempt to do this would lead to an error. However an element
of a tuple may be of mutable type.
Multi = (3,6,9,12,15)
Multi[2] = 10  Type Error: tuple object does not support item assignment
T = (4,5,6, [3,1,2], 10, 23)
T[3][2]=20  (4,5,6, [3,1,20], 10, 23)

 A tuple inside another tuple is called a nested tuple (

 Assignment of tuple is a useful feature in Python. It allows a tuple of variables on the left side
of the assignment operator to be assigned respective values from a tuple on the right side.
(N1,N2,N3) = (20,40,60)

 Tuple can be unpacked to the ordinary variables.


Employee = ( "Raja",1225,"Sales")
(Name,ID,Dept) = Employee

Method Description Example


len( Returns the length or the number of Tup = (10,20,30,40,50)
elements of the tuple passed as the len(Tup)
argument 5
tuple() Creates an empty tuple if no argument is tuple1 = tuple()
passed. tuple1
()
Creates a tuple if a sequence is passed as tuple1 = tuple('Computer') #string
argument tuple1
('c', 'o', 'm', 'p', 'u', 't', 'e', 'r')
tuple2 = tuple([1,2,3]) #list
tuple2
(1, 2, 3)
tuple3 = tuple(range(5))
tuple3
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
count() Returns the number of times the given tuple1 = (10,20,30,10,40,10,50)
element appears in the tuple tuple1.count(10)
3
tuple1.count(90)
0
index() Returns the index of the first occurrence of tuple1 = (10,20,30,40,50)
the element in the given tuple. tuple1.index(30)
2
tuple1.index(90)
ValueError: tuple.index(x): x not
in tuple
sorted() Takes elements in the tuple and returns a tuple1 = ("Rama","Heena","Raj",
new sorted list. It should be noted that, "Mohsin","Aditya")
sorted() does not make any change to the sorted(tuple1)
original tuple ['Aditya', 'Heena', 'Mohsin', 'Raj',
'Rama']
min() Returns minimum or smallest element of Tup = (19,12,56,18,9,87,34)
the tuple min(Tup)
9
max() Returns maximum or largest element of the max(Tup)
tuple. 87
sum() Returns sum of the elements of the tuple sum(Tup)
235
