Taming Data with Tuples

Creating Tuples:

You can create a tuple by enclosing a sequence of elements within parentheses ().

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)

tuple2 = ('a', 'b', 'c')

mixed_tuple = (1, 'hello', 3.14)

Accessing Elements:

You can access elements of a tuple using indexing, just like with lists.

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)

print(tuple1[0])  

print(tuple1[1])

1

2

Iterating over Tuples:

You can iterate over the elements of a tuple using a loop.

tuple1 = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')

for fruit in tuple1:

    print(fruit)

apple

banana

cherry

Tuple Methods:

Tuples have only two built-in methods: count() and index().

tuple1 = (1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 2)

print(tuple1.count(2))  # Output: 3

print(tuple1.index(3))  # Output: 3

Immutable Nature:

Once a tuple is created, you cannot modify its elements.

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)

# This will raise an error

tuple1[0] = 4

Tuple Unpacking:

You can unpack a tuple into individual variables.

tuple1 = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')

a, b, c = tuple1

print(a)  

print(b)  

print(c)

Returning Multiple Values from Functions:

Functions in Python can return tuples, allowing you to return multiple values.

def get_coordinates():

    x = 10

    y = 20

    return x, y

x_coord, y_coord = get_coordinates()

print("x coordinate:", x_coord)  

print("y coordinate:", y_coord)

x coordinate: 10

y coordinate: 20

Iterating over Tuples:

tuple1 = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')

for fruit in tuple1:

    print(fruit)
