Python Tuples
Python tuple is a collection or an array which is used to store various types of data.
Features of Python Tuples:
- They are ordered and unchangeable.
- They are written within round brackets.
- They can store multiple types of data.
- They are immutable. Thus, it cannot be modified.
- Python Tuples supports various operations.
- The elements of a python tuple are separated by commas and starts with index 0.
Python Tuples Methods:
| METHODS | USES |
| cmp() | To compare two tuples. |
| count() | Returns the number of times a specified value occurs in a tuple. |
| index() | Searches the tuple for a specified value and returns the position of where it was found. |
| min() | To get the minimum value from the tuple. |
| max() | To get the maximum value from the tuple.. |
| len() | To get the number of elements in a tuple. |
| tuple() | To convert a sequence type to a tuple. |
Python Tuples Operators:
| OPERATORS | SYMBOLS | USES |
| Concatenation | + | To add two tuples. |
| Replication | * | To repeat the tuple a specific number of times. |
| Slicing | [i:j] | To get a sub-tuple of specified start and end index. |
| Deleting | del | To delete an element from the tuple. |
Examples:
a = ("python", "java", "php", "HTML", "javascript", "CSS", "Bootstrap") print "\n" print "Tuple is:" print a print "\n" print "Get the element at position 0." print(a[0]) print "\n" print "Get the elements from position 1 to position 4." print(a[1:4]) print "\n" print "Get the total length." print(len(a)) print "\n" print "Delete the tuple." del a print a print "\n" |
