Tuple

Tuples in Python

Tuples are used to store multiple values in a single variable. Tuples can be written in round brackets ().

Example :

myBasket = ('Apple','Banana','Grapes','Orange')
print(myBasket)

Output :

('Apple', 'Banana', 'Grapes', 'Orange')

Example Explanation :

In the above example, In the 1st line we can create one variable and the name of that variable is myBasket. In this variable, we store the tuple of elements ('Apple','Banana','Grapes','Orange') and In 2nd line we can print the value of that variable.

Properties Of Tuple

1. Ordered : Tuples are an ordered sequences of items, just like lists.

2. Unchangeable : Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.

3. Allow Duplicates : Tuples are indexed, they can have items with the same value. It contains duplicates items.

tip

You can perform update, add and delete operations on list. But you can not perform update, add and delete operations on tuples.

Manipulation of Tuple

You can not change tuples but you can perform some extra operations on tuples you can also change it.

Example :

myBasket = ('Apple','Banana','Grapes','Apple')
listmyBasket = list(myBasket)
listmyBasket[0] = "Cherry"
myBasket = tuple(listmyBasket)
print(listmyBasket)

Output

['Cherry', 'Banana', 'Grapes', 'Apple']

Example explanation :

In the above example, In the 1st line we can create first variable and the name of that variable is myBasket. In this variable, we store the tuple of items ('Apple','Banana','Grapes','Apple'). In the 2nd line we can create a second variable and the name of that variable is listmyBasket and store the list of myBasket tuple. In the 3rd line listmyBasket variable will be the update list, and update the [0] index element which is Apple to Cherry in the myBasket variable. We can again the listmyBasket list convert into a tuple and store it in the myBasket tuple. In 5th line we can print the value of that variable.

Index Position

Index position returns the index of the items in the tuples.

Syntax :

tuplename.index('element')

Example explanation :

pythonStudent = ("Saurabh","pooja","Tushar","Harshal")
print(pythonStudent.index('Saurabh'))

Output

0

Example Explanation :

In the above example, In the 1st line we can create one variable and the name of that variable is pythonStudent. In this variable, we store the tuple of items {'Saurabh','pooja','Tushar','Harshal'}. In the 2nd line, we print the value of that variable and provide the index method for finding the index of that given element.

Count()

The count() method returns the number of times the specified element appears in the list.

Syntax :

tuplename.count("element")

Example :

pythonStudent = ('Saurabh','pooja','Tushar','Harshal')
print(pythonStudent.count('Tushar'))

Output

1

Example Explanation :

In the above example, In the 1st line we can create one variable and the name of that variable is pythonStudent. In this variable, we store the tuple of items {'Saurabh','pooja','Tushar','Harshal'}. In the 2nd line, we print the value of that variable and provide the count method for counting the element appers in the tuple.

Concatenation of String

To concatenate, or combine, two strings you can use the + operator.

a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c = a + b
print(c)

Output

HelloWorld

Example explanation :

In the above example, In the 1st line we create a variable and name of that variable is a. In this variable we can stored a string Hello. In the 2nd line we can create second variable and name of that variable is b. In this variable we can stored a string World. In the 3rd line we can create third variable and name of that variable is c. In this line we can concatenate the two strings using + operator a + b and store that string in variable c. In the 4th line we can print that variable.
