Accessing Elements in a Tuple: Indexing Technique

Accessing elements in a tuple is straightforward and works the same way as with lists. Simply specify the index number inside square brackets. Remember, indexing starts at 0, just like with lists.

1234567
movies = ("Inception", "Interstellar", "The Dark Knight", "Tenet", "Dunkirk", "Memento", "Following") # Accessing the second movie print(movies[1]) # Accessing the sixth movie print(movies[5])
copy

Tuples also support negative indexing, where the indexing begins from the end. Thus, the last element has an index of -1, the second to last is -2, and so on.

1234567
movies = ("Inception", "Interstellar", "The Dark Knight", "Tenet", "Dunkirk", "Memento", "Following") # Accessing the last movie print(movies[-1]) # Accessing the fourth movie from the end print(movies[-4])
copy

In the example above, we access the last element (indexed at -1) and the fourth element from the end (indexed at -4).

Taak

Swipe to start coding

We are continuing to work with the tuple space_movies.

  • Get the first element of this tuple and store it in the variable first_movie.
  • Get the last element of the tuple and store it in the variable last_movie.
  • Initialize a new list favorite_movies and add these 2 movies to it.
  • Use indices to complete this task.
