Tuples

Features of Tuples
 In Python, Tuples consider as a immutable data type i.e. Values in the tuples
cannot be modified.
 In Python there are two ways to declare a tuple variable:
(a) Using ( ) bracket
(b) Using tuple ( ) pre-defined function
 A tuple which contains no element is called Empty tuple.
 A tuple is a collection of values or an ordered sequence of values/items.
 The items in a tuple can be of any type such as string, integers, float or even a
tuple.
 Each tuple element is separated by commas.

 Features of Tuples
 In Python we can identify each tuple element by their index location.
 In Python we can access individual element of a tuple using positive index
location as well as negative index location.
We can perform following operations on list variable:
(a) Concatenation
(b) Replication
(c) Traversing
(d) Slicing

 Declaring / Creating a tuple
 In Python there are two ways to declare a tuple variable :
(a) Using ( ) bracket : Tuple variable can be created by putting comma-
separated values/items within square bracket. The syntax for creating a list is
tuplevariablename = ( element1, element2, element3, element4…..)

 Declaring / Creating a Tuple
 (b) Using tuple ( ) pre-defined function : This function takes sequence types and
convert a given sequence into a tuple. If no sequence is specified then it will
create an empty tuple.

 Accessing Tuple Elements
A tuple is a sequence of values which can be of any type and they are
indexed by integer value. The individual elements of a tuple can be accessed
through their indexes given in square brackets.

 Operations on Tuple
 Concatenation : Concatenation is a process in which multiple
sequences/tuples can be combined together with help of + operators. Python
allows combining or adding of two tuples using ‘+’ concatenation operator.

 Replication : Multiply ( * ) operator replicates the tuples for a specified

7
 Operations on Tuple
 Traversing : Traversing a tuple means accessing each element of a tuple.
This can be done by using either for or while looping statement.

 Operations on Tuples
Slicing is used to retrieve a subset of values. Remember index on last limit is
not included in the tuple slice.
tuplevariablename[start:stop:step]

 Membership Testing
The ‘in’ operator checks whether a given element is contained in a tuple. It
returns true if element appears in the list, otherwise returns false. The ‘not
in’ operator returns true if element does not appear in the sequence, other
wise returns false.

 Pre-Defined Functions / Methods / Statement
Pre-Defined Functions : tuple ( ) , len( ) , sorted( ), min( ), max( ), sum ( )

Pre-Defined Methods :

count( ), index( )

11
 Pre-Defined Functions
 len( ) function : This function is used to find total number of elements or
length of the tuple variable.

 sorted( ) function : This function is used to arrange tuple elements in

12
 Pre-Defined Functions
 min( ) function : This function is used to find minimum number from a
given tuple.
 max( ) function : This function is used to find maximum number from a
given tuple.
 sum ( ) function : This function is used to find sum of all elements from a
given tuple.

13
 Pre-Defined Methods
 count ( ) : This method is used to count the frequency of a given element in
a given tuple.

 Index( ) : This method is used to find the index location of a specified

having odd values with thrice their value and elements having even
values with twice their value.
13) Write a Python code to input a tuple of integers and divide all the list
elements by 7 which are divisible by 7 and multiply other elements by 3.
