Tuple Operations
Tuple is an immutable data type in Python. It means we can not modify the tuple elements. We can perform various operations on the tuple in Python. We will learn how to perform various operations on the tuple in Python.
Traversing a Tuple
There are multiple ways to traverse a tuple in Python. We can use the for
for
loop to traverse a tuple. We can also use the while
while
loop to traverse a tuple. We can also use the enumerate()
enumerate()
function to traverse a tuple. we are going to learn all the methods to traverse a tuple in Python.
Using for Loop
We can use the for
for
loop to traverse a tuple in Python. We will use the for
for
loop to traverse the tuple elements one by one. We will use the for
for
loop with the in
in
keyword to traverse the tuple elements.
The following example shows how to traverse a tuple using the for
for
loop.
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for number in numbers:
print(number)
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
for number in numbers:
print(number)
Output:
C:\Users\username>python traverse_tuple.py
