Tuple in Python

A tuple in Python is an ordered, immutable collection of items, enclosed in parentheses ( ). Like lists, tuples can store elements of different data types, but unlike lists, tuples cannot be changed after creation.

Updating Tuples:

Since tuples are immutable, you cannot directly change their values. To update a tuple, you must convert it to a list, make changes, and convert it back to a tuple.

Example:

t = (1, 2, 3)
temp = list(t)
temp[0] = 100
t = tuple(temp)
print(t)           # Output: (100, 2, 3)

Indexing and Slicing:

You can access individual elements or slices of a tuple, just like with lists.

Example:

t = (10, 20, 30, 40)
print(t[1])        # Output: 20
print(t[1:3])      # Output: (20, 30)

Unpacking Tuples:

Tuple unpacking allows you to assign the values of a tuple to individual variables in a single step.

Example:

a, b = (5, 10)
print(a)           # Output: 5
print(b)           # Output: 10

Looping Through a Tuple:

You can use a loop to iterate over the items in a tuple.

Example:

t = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry')
for item in t:
    print(item)

Joining Tuples:

Tuples can be joined (concatenated) using the + operator.

Example:

t1 = (1, 2)
t2 = (3, 4)
t3 = t1 + t2
print(t3)          # Output: (1, 2, 3, 4)
