Updating a Tuple

To modify values within a tuple, you can use a technique similar to the one for deletion. Because a tuple is immutable, you can't directly alter its elements without encountering an error.


              123
            
movie_ratings = (8.8, 9.0, 7.5, 6.8)
# Attempting to modify a tuple directly
movie_ratings[1] = 8.9  # Output: Error: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

However, by converting the tuple to a list, you can easily make the desired changes.


              12345678910111213
            
current_movies = ("Inception", "Interstellar", "Tenet", "Dunkirk")

# Step 1: Convert the tuple to a list
movies_list = list(current_movies)

# Step 2: Update the second and third movie titles
movies_list[1] = "Memento"
movies_list[2] = "The Prestige"

# Step 3: Convert the list back to a tuple
current_movies = tuple(movies_list)

print(current_movies)
