Python Tuple

A Python tuple is an immutable collection that maintains the order of elements and allows duplicates. Tuples are created using parentheses or the tuple() constructor, and items can be accessed using their index. The length of a tuple can be determined using the len() function.

Python Tuple

A tuple is a collection similar to a Python list. The primary difference


is that we cannot modify a tuple once it is created.

Create a Python Tuple


We create a tuple by placing items inside parentheses ().
For example,
numbers = (1, 2, -5)
print(numbers)
Output: (1, 2, -5)

Tuple Characteristics
• Ordered - They maintain the order of elements.
• Immutable - They cannot be changed after creation.
• Allow duplicates - They can contain duplicate values.

Access Tuple Items


Each item in a tuple is associated with a number, known as a index.
The index always starts from 0, meaning the first item of a tuple is at
index 0, the second item is at index 1, and so on.
Index of Tuple Item
Access Items Using Index
We use index numbers to access tuple items. For example,
languages = ('Python', 'Swift', 'C++')

# access the first item


print(languages[0]) # Python

# access the third item


print(languages[2]) # C++

Tuple Cannot be Modified


Python tuples are immutable (unchangeable). We cannot add,
change, or delete items of a tuple.
If we try to modify a tuple, we will get an error. For example,
cars = ('BMW', 'Tesla', 'Ford', 'Toyota')
# trying to modify a tuple
cars[0] = 'Nissan' # error
print(cars)

Python Tuple Length


We use the len() function to find the number of items present in a
tuple. For example,
cars = ('BMW', 'Tesla', 'Ford', 'Toyota')
print('Total Items:', len(cars))

Output: Total Items: 4
