Tuple Methods
Let's dive into the primary methods associated with tuples.
len(t)
- gives the number of elements in the tuplet
;t * n
- producesn
repetitions of the tuplet
;t.count(x)
- counts how oftenx
appears 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? That method 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.
Everything was clear?
