tuples def 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

# but they can contain mutable objects:
v = ([1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])
print(v)
# output ([1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])
