Challenge: Retrieving Information from Nested Tuple

Task

Swipe to start coding

You've been provided with a tuple named people that holds data on individuals' names, ages, and heights in the format: (('name', age, height), ('name', age, height), ...). Here's a snapshot of the data:

Name	Age	Height
Alex	23	178
Noah	34	189
Peter	29	175
John	41	185
Michelle	35	165

Your task is to extract some information:

In the variable peters_info, extract all the information about Peter.
In the variable johns_height, extract John's height.
In the variable alexs_age, extract Alex's age.
Use indexing to solve this task.
