Tuple Varieties

Tuple Varieties

Learn about the different varieties of tuples in Python.

We'll cover the following...

A tuple of tuples

It is possible to create a tuple of tuples, as shown below:

Python 3.8
a = (1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
b = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
c = (a, b)
print(c[0][0], c[1][2]) # 0th element of 0th tuple, 2nd ele of 1st tuple
records = (
('Priyanka', 24, 3455.50), ('Shailesh', 25, 4555.50),
('Subhash', 25, 4505.50), ('Sugandh', 27, 4455.55) )
print(records[0][0], records[0][1], records[0][2])
print(records[1][0], records[1][1], records[1][2])
for n, a, s in records :
  print(n, a, s)

Embedded tuple

A tuple can be embedded in another tuple, as shown below:

Python 3.8
x = (1, 2, 3, 4)
y = (10, 20, x, 30)
print(y)     # outputs (10, 20, (1, 2, 3, 4), 30)

Unpacking a tuple

It is possible to unpack a tuple within a tuple using the * operator, as shown ...
