python tuple + tuple code example

Example 1: what is a tuple in python

# A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. Tuples are
# sequences, just like lists. The differences between tuples
# and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists and
# tuples use parentheses, whereas lists use square brackets.
tup1 = ('physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000);
tup2 = "a", "b", "c", "d";

# To access values in tuple, use the square brackets for
# slicing along with the index or indices to obtain value
# available at that index.
tup1[0] # Output: 'physics'

Example 2: tuples in python

my_tuple = ("hello")
print(type(my_tuple))  # <class 'str'>

# Creating a tuple having one element
my_tuple = ("hello",)
print(type(my_tuple))  # <class 'tuple'>

# Parentheses is optional
my_tuple = "hello",
print(type(my_tuple))  # <class 'tuple'>
