Creating Tuple
-
This lesson explains how to create tuples in Python and store multiple values in an ordered collection.
Tuple
A tuple is a built-in Python data structure used to store multiple items in a single variable.
Tuples are ordered
Tuples are immutable (cannot be changed after creation)
Allow duplicate values
Written using parentheses ( )
Daily Life Example
Think of a tuple like:
Fixed days of the week
GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude)
RGB color values
These values should not change once defined.
Basic Tuple Creation
fruits = ("apple", "banana", "mango")
print(fruits)
Tuple with Different Data Types
student = ("Rahul", 21, "Python", True)
print(student)
Tuple Without Parentheses (Packing)
numbers = 10, 20, 30
print(numbers)
Single Element Tuple
value = (5,)
print(value)
Wrong Way ❌
value = (5) # This is an integer, not a tuple
Using tuple() Constructor
numbers = tuple([1, 2, 3, 4])
print(numbers)
Empty Tuple
empty = ()
print(empty)
