Tuple Operations

While tuples are immutable, they support several operations:

Concatenation

Tuples can be concatenated using the + operator to create a new tuple.

Python

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

Slicing

Tuples support slicing, similar to lists, to extract a portion of the tuple.

Python

numbers = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
sub_tuple = numbers[1:4]  # Output: (1, 2, 3)

Repetition

Tuples can be repeated using the * operator.

Python

numbers = (1, 2)
repeated_tuple = numbers * 3  # Output: (1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2)

Other Operations

• Length: len(tuple) returns the number of elements in the tuple.
• Membership testing: in and not in operators can be used to check if an element exists in the tuple.
• Indexing and counting: index() and count() methods can be used (similar to lists).
• Unpacking: Assigning elements of a tuple to multiple variables in a single line.

Python

numbers = (1, 2, 3)
x, y, z = numbers
print(x, y, z)  # Output: 1 2 3

Note: While tuples are immutable, the objects contained within them might be mutable. For example, a tuple can contain a list.
