Tuples
In Python, a tuple is an immutable sequence of elements, meaning once you create it, you can't change its contents. Think of it as a setlist for a concert—once it's decided, it stays the same throughout the performance. Here's how you can create a tuple:
python
In this example, track_info
is a tuple containing the track name, artist, and release year.
Tuples are perfect for storing related pieces of information that shouldn't change. They're like the essential elements of a song that remain constant, such as the title, artist, and duration. Tuples are also more memory-efficient than lists, making them ideal for storing fixed data.
Accessing elements in a tuple is similar to accessing notes in a melody. You use indexing to get the specific element you need:
track_info = ("Bohemian Rhapsody", "Queen", 1975) track_name = track_info[0] artist = track_info[1] release_year = track_info[2] print("Track Name:", track_name) print("Artist:", artist) print("Release Year:", release_year)
Tuple unpacking is like breaking down a song into its individual components. You can assign each element of a tuple to a variable in a single line:
track_info = ("Bohemian Rhapsody", "Queen", 1975) track_name, artist, release_year = track_info print("Track Name:", track_name) print("Artist:", artist) print("Release Year:", release_year)
Tuples are often used to return multiple values from a function. Imagine you're analyzing a track and want to return both its loudness and tempo:
def analyze_track(track): loudness = -5.2 # in dB tempo = 120 # in BPM return (loudness, tempo) loudness, tempo = analyze_track("Bohemian Rhapsody") print("Loudness:", loudness, "dB") print("Tempo:", tempo, "BPM")

Complete the get_popularity_range
function that calculates and returns a tuple containing the minimum and maximum track popularity from a list of tracks. This is useful for understanding the range of popularity within a dataset.
Inputs:
tracks
: A list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a track and contains a key'track_popularity'
with an integer value.
Steps:
-
Initialize Variables:
- Determine the minimum popularity by iterating over the tracks and finding the smallest
'track_popularity'
value. - Determine the maximum popularity by iterating over the tracks and finding the largest
'track_popularity'
value.
- Determine the minimum popularity by iterating over the tracks and finding the smallest
-
Return the Tuple:
- Ensure the function returns a tuple where the first element is the minimum popularity and the last element is the maximum popularity. This order is crucial for maintaining consistency and clarity in the data representation.
