What is a Tuple in Python and how to use it

Question

Can someone help me in understanding Tuple, I am new to Python and finding it difficult understand Tuple. Please help.

Answer 1

A tuple is created in a similar way as a list but the values are included in ().

Example:

tup3 = "a", "b", "c", "d";
tup1 = ();

Access Tuple

tup1 = ('a', 'b', 1, 2);
tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 );
print "tup1[0]: ", tup1[0];
print "tup2[1:5]: ", tup2[1:5];

Output:

tup1[0]: a
tup2[1:5]: [2,3,4,5]

Answer 2

  Tuple is a collection of Python objects.it is similar to a list. The difference between the two is that we cannot change the elements of a tuple once it is assigned whereas in a list, elements can be changed.A tuple is created by placing all the items (elements) inside a parentheses (), separated by comma.

example:

# One way of creation tup = 'rajesh', 'kumar' print(tup)   # Another for doing the same tup = ('rajesh', 'kumar') print(tup) output:

   ('rajesh', 'kumar')
   ('rajesh', 'kumar')

Answer 3

where as list is mutable.

Answer 4

Tuples  are a  Unchanging sequence of values, each one accessible individually, and a tuple is a basic type in Python. You can recognize tuples when they are created because they are surrounded by ‘()’ parentheses . Tuples contain data such as strings and numbers. Open the python shell and perform the following example.

Program:
>>> filler = ("string", "filled", "by a", "tuple")
>>> print("A %s %s %s %s" % ("string", "filled", "by a", "tuple")
A string filled by a tuple

>>> print("A %s %s %s %s" % filler)
A string filled by a tuple
