Tuples are an ordered, immutable collection type in Python. That is, elements in Tuple are not modifiable, and neither are their positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuples are also indexed. This means we can access the elements of a Tuple using their positional index (starts with 0)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuples allow duplicates and different data types as their elements. Hence, it’s a flexible array-like alternative to storing data in Python with better performance than lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This post is about the basics of Tuples and the methods we can use on Tuples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuples are one of the four (Lists<\/a>, Sets<\/a>, Dictionary<\/a>) data types to store a collection of items. Also, elements in Tuples are ordered and indexed. This array-like object type does not allow for modifications. Yet they allow duplicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These properties make Tuples more flexible than sets that don’t allow duplicates. But Tuples are a bit more rigid than lists that permit modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
