Tuple

A tuple, pronounced TUH-pul, is an ordered and finite list of elements in various fields of interest, including computing. The exact nature of that list depends on the context in which it is used, although the meaning is conceptually similar across disciplines. Tuples are found in mathematics, computer programming and the relational data model on which many modern database systems are based.

Python Tuple is a collection of objects separated by commas. In some ways, a tuple is similar to a Python list in terms of indexing, nested objects, and repetition but the main difference between both is Python tuple is immutable, unlike the Python list which is mutable.

Creating Python Tuples

There are various ways by which you can create a tuple in Python. They are as follows:

• Using round brackets
• With one item
• Tuple ConstructorTuples in Python are similar to Python lists but not entirely. Tuples are immutable and ordered and allow duplicate values. Some Characteristics of Tuples in Python.

• We can find items in a tuple since finding any item does not make changes in the tuple.
• One cannot add items to a tuple once it is created.?
• Tuples cannot be appended or extended.
• We cannot remove items from a tuple once it is created.?
