tuples real python code example

Example 1: tuples in python

my_tuple = 3, 4.6, "dog"
print(my_tuple)

# tuple unpacking is also possible
a, b, c = my_tuple

print(a)      # 3
print(b)      # 4.6
print(c)      # dog

Example 2: tuples in python

t = 12345, 54321, 'hello!'
print(t[0])
# output 12345
print(t)
# output (12345, 54321, 'hello!')
# Tuples may be nested:
u = t, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
print(u)
# output ((12345, 54321, 'hello!'), (1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
# Tuples are immutable:
# assigning value of 12345 to 88888
t[0] = 88888
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
# but they can contain mutable objects:
v = ([1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])
print(v)
# output ([1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])

Example 3: 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'>
