Tuple in Python

1. What is a Tuple?

• A tuple is a collection of items.
• It stores multiple values in a single variable.
• Tuples are ordered and immutable (cannot be changed).

tuple_name = (item1, item2, item3)

Example

fruits = ("Apple", "Banana", "Mango")
print(fruits)

Output:

('Apple', 'Banana', 'Mango')

2. Features of Tuple

• Ordered
• Immutable (cannot modify items)
• Allows duplicate values
• Can store different data types
• Faster than lists

3. Creating a Tuple

Multiple items

colors = ("Red", "Blue", "Green")

Single item (comma is required)

num = (5,)
print(type(num))

4. Accessing Tuple Elements

Positive Index

fruits = ("Apple", "Banana", "Mango")
print(fruits[0])

Output

Apple

Negative Index

print(fruits[-1])

Output

Mango

5. Slicing a Tuple

numbers = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
print(numbers[1:4])

Output

(20, 30, 40)

7. Loop Through a Tuple

fruits = ("Apple", "Banana", "Mango")

for i in fruits:
    print(i)

8. Length of Tuple

fruits = ("Apple", "Banana", "Mango")
print(len(fruits))

Output

3

9. Tuple Methods

1.Count()

Counts how many times a value appears.

a = (1, 2, 2, 3, 2)
print(a.count(2))

Output

3

2. index()

Returns the position of an item.

a = ("A", "B", "C")
print(a.index("B"))

1

a = (1, 2)
b = (3, 4)

print(a + b)

(1, 2, 3, 4)

a = (5,)

print(a * 3)

(5, 5, 5)

fruits = ("Apple", "Banana", "Mango")

print("Apple" in fruits)
print("Orange" not in fruits)

True
True

student = ("Rahul", 18, "Delhi")

name, age, city = student

print(name)
print(age)
print(city)

a = (5, 10, 15, 20)

print(len(a))      # 4
print(max(a))      # 20
print(min(a))      # 5
print(sum(a))      # 50
