Deleting a Tuple

A tuple in Python is immutable, meaning once it's created, you cannot change, add, or remove its elements. However, you can delete the entire tuple using the del statement.

movies = ("Inception", "Interstellar", "Tenet", "Dunkirk", "Memento") # Deleting the tuple del movies # Attempting to print the deleted tuple will raise an error print(movies)
copy

Removing Items

Note

Since tuples are immutable, you cannot directly remove items from them. However, you can work around this by converting the tuple into a list, modifying the list, and then converting it back into a tuple.

12345678910111213
movies = ("Inception", "Interstellar", "Tenet", "Dunkirk", "Memento") # Convert the tuple to a list movies_list = list(movies) # Remove specific items movies_list.remove("Tenet") movies_list.remove("Dunkirk") # Convert the list back to a tuple movies = tuple(movies_list) print(movies)

The animal movies didn't appeal to the audience, except for the animated movie "Finding Nemo".

Your goal:

  • Convert the tuple movie_poster into a list and assign it to the variable temp_list.
  • Remove the elements "The Lion King" and "Jurassic Park" from the list.
  • Convert the list back into a tuple and assign the value to the variable movie_poster.
  • Delete the list temp_list.
