Common Tuple Methods in Python
Let's dive into the primary methods associated with tuples.
len(t)- gives the number of elements in the tuplet;t * n- producesnrepetitions of the tuplet;t.count(x)- counts how oftenxappears in the tuplet.
In the previous chapter, we highlighted that tuples are immutable. So, you might wonder: "How can I update a tuple with new values?"
Unlike lists, you can't use methods like .append() or .extend() with tuples. However, remember a few chapters back when we discussed concatenation? Here's the method that works for tuples too:
tuple1 + tuple2 - this joins two tuples together (both elements must be tuples).
For instance, let's add some new data to the tuple we were working with in the last example.
Just a heads up: make sure the data you're adding is also in tuple format to successfully concatenate.
1234567# Initial tuple US_Info = ("USA", 9629091, 331002651) # New data US_Info_new = ("Washington D.C.", 50) # Concatenate two tuples and save the result US_Info_upd = US_Info + US_Info_new print(US_Info_upd)
