Tuples in Python

 Creating Tuples
 Deleting Tuples
 Accessing Elements in Tuple
 Tuples Operations: Concatenation, Repetation, Membership, Iteration.
 Built in Tuples functions and methods.

Introduction to Tuple in Python

 Python used 4 built-in data types to store collections of data like Tuple, List, Set, and Dictionary. These all
build in types has different qualities and usage.
 A tuple is created by placing all the items (elements) inside parentheses (), separated by commas.
 The parentheses are optional, however, it is a good practice to use them.
 A tuple can have any number of items and they may be of different types (integer, float, list, string, etc.)
 A tuple is a collection of objects which is ordered and immutable (unchangeable).
 Tuples are sequences of elements, just like lists.
 Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
 When we create tuple with a single element, make sure to add a comma after the element.
 The tuple are immutable, means we cannot change the elements of a tuple once assigned.
 An element in a tuple cannot be removed or replaced (change).
 Tuple is stored in a single block of memory, so creating a tuple is faster than creating a list.
 Tuple makes your code safer because data in tuple is “write-protected”.
 Tuples are iterable so it contains an index and an item from the original iterable.
 Tuples can be used + (concatenation) and * (repetition) operators and returns a new tuple.
 Benefits of Tuple
o It is very easy to create tuple and store data.
o Tuple can give the programmer and the interpreter a hint that the data should not be changed.
o Tuples are commonly used as the equivalent of a dictionary without keys to store data.
o Reading data is simpler when tuples are stored inside a list.
 Slicing and Indexing of Tuple
o To index or slice a tuple you need to use the [] operator on the tuple.
o When indexing a tuple.
o Provice Positive Indexing: if you provide a positive integer, it fetches that index from
the tuple counting from the left.
o Negative indexing: if you provide a negative integer, It fetches that index from the tuple counting
from the right.
 Tuples can be nested.
o Tuples can contain other compound objects, including lists, dictionaries, and other tuples.
Hence, tuples can be nested inside of other tuples.

  Basic operations with Tuples.
o Accessing Values in Tuples: To access values in tuple, use the square brackets for slicing
along with the index or indices to obtain the value available at that index.
o Updating Tuples: Tuples are immutable, which means you cannot update or change the values
of tuple elements. But we can concatenate 2 tuples and it returns 3rd Tuple.
o Delete Tuple: We can delete the tuple.

Creating tuple in python?

 Example to create empty tuple.

 Example to create tuple with single element (with and without paranthesis).

 Example to create tuple with multiple element (with and without paranthesis).

 Example to create Nesting of Touples.

TUPLE OPERATIONS
 Tuple Concatenation:

  Example to create new tuple by concatenating Touples.

 Tuple Repetation
 Example to create Repetition of Touples.

 Membership Operation on Tuple,

o Membership operators are used to validate the membership of a value in a sequence such as
strings, lists or tuples.
o Python has two membership operators – “in” and “not in”.
o Membership Operator ( in ):
o The in operator is used to check if an element is present in a sequence or not. It returns True if
element is pesent, otherwise return False.
o Example to find 100 in Tuple1.

o Example to find 30 in Tuple1

 o Membership Operator ( not in ):
o The not in operator is used to check if an element is present in a sequence or not. It returns True
if element is not pesent, otherwise return False.

 Tuple Iteration.
o We can iterate the tuple using for loop .

 Built in Tuples functions.

o len() function :
 This function returns the number of elements in a tuple.
 Syntax: len( tuple )
o max() function :
 This function returns the maximum number from tuple.
 Syntax: max( tuple )
o min() function :
 This function returns the minimum number from tuple.
 Syntax: min( tuple )
o sum() function :
 This function returns the sum of all elements of tuple.
 Syntax: sum( tuple )

 Built In Tuple Methods…
 count() method :
 This method returns the number of times a specified value appears in the tuple.
 Syntax: tuple1.count( value )

 index() method :
 This method returns the first occurance of specified value. If value found, then it returns its index
position, and if not found, then it raised an exception.
 Syntax: tuple1.index( value )
