Beginner guide to Python Tuple Method with Practical Examples

In This Article You Will Learn About Python Tuple Method

Python Tuple Method – Before moving ahead, let’s know about some Introduction to Python Tuple concept

Tuple – It is a collection and contains elements in ordered and unchangeable form. It represents with round brackets.

Creating Tuple with an element

Create Tuple with One Item – To create tuple with one item it is required to add a comma after element otherwise Python will consider it as string.

Example 10- Converting tuple type to list type.

x = ('a',)
print(type(x))

x = ('a')
print(type(x))
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it returned it converted tuple type to String type.

Removing/deleting Tuple Element

Remove element – Tuple is unchangeable or immutable. Once tuple element created, it can not be removed. But whole tuple can be deleted.

Example 11- Removing an element of Tuple.

x = ('Welcome' , 'programming' , 'language')
x.remove('programming')

print(x)
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it returned error because once Tuple created, its element cannot be removed

Example 12- Deleting whole Tuple.

x = ('Welcome' , 'programming' , 'language')
del x

print(x)
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it returned an error because whole tuple was deleted

Adding Tuple

Join Tuple – In Python, Tuple can be easily joined or concatenated by using + operator.

Example 20- Concatenation of two Tuples.

x = (1 , 2 , 3)
z = (4 , 5 , 6)

print(x + z)
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it returned a new tuple after adding both tuples

Use of Asterisk*

Asterisk in Tuple – If number of values is less than number of variables then, add an Asterisk (*) to the variable name and the rest of value will be assigned to the variable.      

Example 21- Adding the rest of value to the last string. 

language = ('Python', 'Java', 'JavaScript', 'C++', 'C#', 'HTML', 'CSS')
(P, J, C, *H) = language

print(P)
print(J)
print(C)
print(*H) 
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that rest of value is stored in single variable as an Asterisk was added to the last variable.   

If an Asterisk add to the variable except present at the last position, then, Python will assign values to the variables until the values set off with variables and matches values with the variables.

Example 22- Adding the rest of value to the second last string.

 language = ('Python', 'Java', 'JavaScript', 'C++', 'C#', 'HTML', 'CSS')
(P, J, *C, H) = language

print(P) 
print(J) 
print(C) 
print(H) 
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that rest of value is stored in single variable as an Asterisk was added to the second last variable.   

Tuple Constructor

The Tuple() Constructor – It uses to construct or make new Tuple.

Example 21- Use of constructor to make new Tuple.

x = tuple(('a' , 'b' , 'c'))
print(x)
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it returned a tuple

Tuple Methods

Tuple Methods – Python has a set of built-in methods that can be used on Tuple.

Some of them we have already discussed rest of we are going to discuss now.

count() method – It returns the number of specified value.

Syntax - Tuple.count(value)

Parameter values - It is required argument and takes letter or word which is to be counted.

Example 22- Use of count() method to count specified value.

x = 'language'
z = x.count('a')

print(z)
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it retuned number of times letter ‘a’ appeared in string.

index() method – It returns the index number of first appeared element of the specified value.

Syntax - Tuple.index(value)

Parameter Values - It is required argument and takes element which is to be indexed

Example 23- Use of index() method to get index number of particular letter.

x = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
print(x.index('c'))           
python-tuple-method
As it is shown clearly that it retuned the index number of letter ‘a’ appeared in string.
