Tuple Manipulation

Introduction
• In Python, tuple is also a kind of container which can store list
of any kind of values.

• Tuple is an immutable data type which means we can not


change any value of tuple.

• Tuple is a sequence like string and list but the difference is


that list is mutable whereas string and tuple are immutable.

• In this chapter we will see manipulation on tuple i.e. creation of


tuple, its use and operations on tuple with built in functions.
Creation of Tuple
• In Python, “( )” parenthesis are used for tuple creation.
() empty tuple
( 1, 2, 3) integers tuple
( 1, 2.5, 3.7, 7) numbers tuple
(‘a’, ’b’, ’c’ ) characters tuple
( ‘a’, 1, ‘b’, 3.5, ‘zero’) mixed values tuple
(‘one’, ’two’, ’three’, ’four’) string tuple

*Tuple is an immutable sequence whose values can not be changed.


Creation of Tuple
Look at following examples of tuple creation carefully-
• Empty tuple:

• Single element tuple:

• Long tuple:

• Nested tuple:
Creation of Tuple
tuple() function is used to create a tuple from other sequences.
See examples-
Tuple creation from string Tuple creation from list

Tuple creation from input

All these elements are


of character type. To
have these in different
types, need to write
following statement.-
Tuple=eval(input(“Enter
elements”))
Accessing a Tuple
• In Python, the process of tuple accessing is same as
with list. Like a list, we can access each and every
element of a tuple.
• Similarity with List- like list, tuple also has index. All
functionality of a list and a tuple is same except mutability.
Forward index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Tupl R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y
e Backward -14 -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
index
• len ( ) function is used to get the length of tuple.
Accessing a Tuple
• Indexing and Slicing:
• T[ i ] returns the item present at index i.
• T[ i : j ] returns a new tuple having all the items of T from
index i to j.
• T[i:j:n] returns a new tuple having difference of n elements
of T from index i to j.
index i to j.

• Membership operator:
• Working of membership operator “in” and “not in” is same as
in a list. (for details see the chapter- list manipulation).
• Concatenation and Replication operators:
• + operator adds second tuple at the end of first tuple. * operator repeats
elements of tuple.
Accessing a Tuple
• Accessing Individual elements-

• Traversal of a Tuple –
for <item> in <tuple>:
#to process every element.

OUTPUT
Tuple Operations
• Tuple joining
• Both the tuples should be there to add
with +.

Some errors in tuple joining-


• In Tuple + number
• In Tuple + complex number
• In Tuple + string
• In Tuple + list
• Tuple + (5) will also generate error because when adding a tuple with
a single value, tuple will also be considered as a value and not a
tuple..

• Tuple Replication-
Tuple Slicing

Tuple will show till last element of list irrespective of


upper
limit.

Every alternate element will be shown.

Every third element will be shown.


Tuple Comparision Tuple unpacking
Tuple Deletion
As we know that tuple is of immutable type, it is not possible to delete an
individual element of a tuple. With del() function, it is possible to delete a
complete tuple.
Look at following example-

Error shown because


deletion of a single
element is also
possible.

Complete tuple has


been deleted. Now
error shown on
printing of tuple.
Tuple Functions

max( ) Function

min( ) Function
