7.python Tuples

The document provides an overview of Python tuples, highlighting their characteristics such as being ordered, immutable, and allowing duplicate values. It explains how to access elements, slice tuples, check for item existence, concatenate, and multiply tuples, as well as methods for creating single-element tuples and unpacking. Additionally, it covers the use of the tuple constructor to create tuples from other iterables.

Python Tuples

1. Introduction to Tuples
• A tuple is a collection that is:
o Ordered
o Immutable (cannot be changed after creation)
o Allows duplicate values
• Tuples are written using Parentheses ( ).
• Tuples elements can be of different data types.
• Tuples can be created by placing comma-separated values inside
parentheses.

2. Tuple Index
• Tuples are indexed starting from 0.
• Negative indexing starts from -1 (last element).

3. Accessing Single Element from Tuple


• Access individual elements using their index.
• Syntax: tuple[index]

4. Accessing Multiple Elements from Tuples (Slicing)


• Slicing allows you to extract a portion of a tuple using a specific range of
indices.
• Syntax: tuple[start : end : step]

o start: index to begin the slice


o end: index to stop (excluded)
o step: how many steps to skip

Default values based on step:


• If step is positive:
o start defaults to 0
o end defaults to end of tuple
• If step is negative:
o start defaults to -1 (last element)
o end defaults to beginning of tuple

• Examples

5. Check Item Using in and not in Keywords


• Use in to check if an item exists in the tuple.
• Use not in to check if an item does not exist.

6. Tuple Concatenation and Multiplication


• Use + to join two tuples.
• Use * to repeat a tuple multiple times.

7. Tuple Length
• Use len() to find how many elements are in a tuple.

8. Creating Single-Element Tuple


• A single element tuple must include a comma.

8. Change Tuple Item


• Tuples are immutable, but you can change their contents by converting
them to a list, modifying it, and converting it back.

9. Unpack Tuples

• You can assign tuple elements to individual variables using unpacking.

• You can also use * to unpack remaining items:

10. Tuple Constructor


• You can create a tuple from another iterable using the tuple() constructor.
