Python Data Type: Tuple

Creating Tuples

a = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)  # It is tuple
a1 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6  # It is also tuple
a2 = 1  # It belongs to class 'int'
a3 = (1,) # It belongs to class 'tuple'
b = ("a", "b", "c", "d")  # It is also tuple

# List inside tuple
c = (1, 2, 3, [4, 5, 6], 7, 8)

# Dictionary inside tuple
d = (11, 12, 13, {"a": 14, "b": 15}, 16, 17)

Accessing The elements of Tuple

print(a)
print(a[1])
print(a[:3])
print(a1[3:])
print(a1[-1])

Deleting tuples

# Deleting the entire tuple
del a1

# Since Tuples are immutable so we cannot delete its elements
del c[3][0]

But if any elements in tuple are mutable then we can delete and reassign the elements in it.

Adding Elements in tuple:

Since Tuples are immutable, so we cannot add elements in tuple

Reassigning Values in the Tuple

We cant reassign values in tuple but if tuple contain any mutable object then we can reassign its values

c[3][1] = 2

Tuple Operations and Built-in Functions

# len()
print(len(a))

# Max()
print(max(a))

# Min()
print(min(a))

# sum()
print(sum(a))

# any(): It returns True if even one item in the Python tuple has a True value.
print(any(("a" in ["a", "b"], "b" not in [1, 2, 3])))  # Prints True
print(any(()))  # Returns False for empty tuple

# all(): It returns True if all items in the tuple have a True value
print(all(("a" in ["a", "b"], "b" in [1, 2, 3])))  # Prints false
print(all(()))  # Returns True for empty tuple

# index()
print(a.index(2))  # Gives the index number of 2

# count()
print(a.count(2))  # it counts how many times the element is repeated

# Sort
a11 = (3, 2, 1)
print(sorted(a11))  # Print sorted version of a11 i.e prints [1,2,3]

# Tuple
a111 = tuple("abcde")
print(a111)  # Prints Tuple having elements ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e')

# Concatenation
print((1, 2, 3) + (4, 5, 6))
print((7, 8, 9) + (10, 11, 12))
