Python Tuples

Python Tuples

Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable. A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable. Tuples are written with round brackets.

Create a Tuple

Tuples are created using round brackets:

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
print(thistuple)

Tuple Items

Tuple items are ordered, unchangeable, and allow duplicate values. Tuple items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second item has index [1] etc.

Access Tuple Items

You can access tuple items by referring to the index number:

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
print(thistuple[1])  # banana

Unchangeable

Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.

Loop Through a Tuple

You can loop through the tuple items by using a for loop:

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
for x in thistuple:
    print(x)
