Operations on Tuples in Python

Tuples in Python support various operations similar to lists. Below are some common operations you can perform on tuples.

Concatenation

Tuples can be concatenated using the + operator.

# Concatenating tuples
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
tuple2 = (4, 5, 6)
concatenated = tuple1 + tuple2
print(concatenated)  # Output: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Repetition

Tuples can be repeated using the * operator.

# Repeating tuples
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
repeated = tuple1 * 3
print(repeated)  # Output: (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)

Slicing

Tuples can be sliced using the slice operator [] with indexes.

# Slicing tuples
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
sliced = tuple1[1:4]
print(sliced)  # Output: (2, 3, 4)

Indexing

Individual elements in a tuple can be accessed using their index.

# Indexing tuples
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
print(tuple1[0])  # Output: 1
print(tuple1[-1])  # Output: 3

Length

The length of a tuple can be determined using the len() function.

# Getting the length of a tuple
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
print(len(tuple1))  # Output: 3

Tuple Methods in Python

Tuples support only a few built-in methods. Here are the commonly used tuple methods:

count()

The count() method returns the number of times a specified value appears in the tuple.

# Using the count() method
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3, 2, 2)
print(tuple1.count(2))  # Output: 3

index()

The index() method returns the first index at which a specified value is found.

# Using the index() method
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3, 2)
print(tuple1.index(2))  # Output: 1

sorted()

The sorted() method returns a sorted list of the tuple's elements.

# Using the sorted() method
tuple1 = (3, 1, 2)
print(sorted(tuple1))  # Output: [1, 2, 3]

min() and max()

The min() and max() functions return the minimum and maximum elements of the tuple, respectively.

# Using the min() and max() methods
tuple1 = (3, 1, 2)
print(min(tuple1))  # Output: 1
print(max(tuple1))  # Output: 3

sum()

The sum() function returns the sum of all elements in the tuple.

# Using the sum() method
tuple1 = (3, 1, 2)
print(sum(tuple1))  # Output: 6

Introduction to OOPs in Python

  Learning Sections          show Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around objects rather than actions and data rather than logic. It revolves around the concept of "objects", which are instances of classes. These objects encapsulate data, in the form of attributes or properties, and behaviors, in the form of methods or functions. OOP promotes modularity, reusability, and extensibility in software development. Key Concepts of OOP: Class: A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines the attributes (data) and methods (functions) that will characterize any object instantiated from that class. Object: An object is an instance of a class. It is a concrete realization of the class blueprint, containing actual values instead of placeholders for attributes. Encapsulation: Encapsulation is ...

Inheritance in Python

  Learning Sections          show Inheritance in Python Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from another class. The class that inherits is called the child class or subclass, and the class being inherited from is called the parent class or superclass. Basic Inheritance In Python, a child class inherits from a parent class by specifying the parent class in parentheses after the child class name. Example: class Animal : def __init__ ( self , name ): self . name = name def speak ( self ): raise NotImplementedError ( "Subclass must implement this method" ) class Dog ( Animal ): def speak ( self ): return "Woof!" class Cat ( Animal ): def speak ( self ): return "Meow!" # Create instances of Dog and Cat dog = Dog ( "Buddy" ) cat = Cat ( "Whiskers" ...

read(), readlines() and other methods in Python

Learning Sections          show read(), readlines() and Other Methods in Python Python provides several methods to read from and manipulate files. Here are some common methods: 1. read() The read() method reads the entire content of a file and returns it as a string. # Open the file in read mode with open ( 'example.txt' , 'r' ) as file : # Read the entire content of the file content = file . read () print ( content ) 2. readlines() The readlines() method reads all the lines of a file and returns a list where each element is a line in the file. # Open the file in read mode with open ( 'example.txt' , 'r' ) as file : # Read all lines of the file lines = file . readlines () for line in lines : print ( line . strip ()) # strip() removes the newline character 3. readline() The readline() method reads one line from the file and returns it as a...
