Transcripts
Welcome to the lecture. In this lecture we will see, what is mean
by tuples, how to create tuples, indexing, how to access the components of the tuple.
We will also see slicing and some of the built in functions available in tuples. We will
also see how to combine multiple tuples that is two or more tuples, we will also see how
to modify components of the tuples. Let us get started. We will see what is mean
by tuples. Tuples is one of the data structure available in python. It consists of an ordered
collection of objects or elements. Some of the operations on tuples which are similar
to list as well so, you can access the components of the lists. So, if you wanted to do slicing
operations as well so, you can do it on the tuples.
So, the tuples values are in separated by the commas and enclosed between the parentheses.
The tuples are immutable. So, if you have created a tuple, you will not be able to modify
the tuple later. So, let us see how to create a tuple. So,
I want to told you create a tuple with employee id, employee name, age and salary details.
So, this basically forms our employee details. So, the tuple has to be created using a parenthesis
separated by commas. So, basically what I will do is I will create
a tuple employee underscore details which contains the id p 0 0 1 which is the string
is basically an id John is an employee name 35 is a numeric data type which is corresponds
to age 40000 which corresponds to the salary details. So, I wanted to create a tuples using
these details. So, let us say if I wanted to print the tuple
employee underscore details. So, you have to give the print of employee underscore details.
So, whatever you have created as a tuples so, it will be displayed with those details.
So, we will have id we will have a employee name, will have a age and as well as the salary
details. Next we will look at the indexing in python.
Since a tuple is an ordered collection of elements so, each items can be accessed individually.
So, if you wanted to slice out the some of the elements as well. So, you can do it in
the tuple. So, we have the employee underscore details
which has a tuple with id employee name, age and salary. So, let us see the index number.
So, we have two types of indexing. So, that is one is positive indexing and the other
one is negative indexing. So, the positive indexing, it always starts from left to right
and negative indexing it starts from right to left for the positive indexing the index
number, it always starts from 0. So, the id as corresponds to the index number
0, employee name John; it corresponds to the index number 1 age which is 35 corresponds
to the index number 2, salary details which corresponds to the index number 3. So, this
is the positive indexing. Next negative indexing, it always starts from right to left so, our
40000 which is a salary detail, its starts with the index number of minus 1, age it corresponds
to the index number of minus 2, employee name it corresponds to the index number of minus
3, id will corresponds to the index number of minus 4. So, this is called as a negative
indexing. Let us say if I wanted to access some of the
components of the tuple, let us see how to do that to access the components. We need
to use the single slicing operator which is a square brackets. So, basically the syntax
is you have to give the tuple name followed by the in the single slicing operator, we
have to specify the index number. Let us say if I wanted to extract id from the employee
details already, we saw that for id, it corresponds to the index number of 0. So, for positive
indexing for negative indexing, it corresponds to the index number of minus 4. So, I wanted
to extract id from the employee details. So, employee details is a tuple. So, if we give
employee details followed by the index number so, id corresponds to the index number of
0 right. So, if you give that you will be able to access the id from the tuple employee
underscore details. Let us say if I wanted to extract salary from
the employee details. So, salary corresponds to the index number of 3 right. So, if we
give the tuple name followed by the index number, you will be able to extract salary
from the employee details tuples so, which basically gives you the value of 40000.
So, you can also use the negative indexing value as well. So, we have the index number
starting from 0 till 3. So, if I give index number greater than 3, it will be the out
of range. So, let us say if I wanted to access the fifth index number print employee details
5. So, it will throws you an error of tuple index out of range which means so, we have
the index number its starting from 0 till 3. So, you do not have the value of index
number 5 which says tuple index out of range. Next look at slicing.
So, slicing is basically used to access the set of elements. If you have wanted to access
the multiple elements from the tuple so, you will use the range of index numbers which
is x is to y let us see what is x and what is y. So, x is basically the index number
where the slice should just starts. So, this is inclusive. So, this number will be included
in the tuple. So, y it is the index number where the slices should end. So, if you give
the value of 2 so, that index number will be excluded from the tuple. So, y is the index
number where the slice should ends. So, if you give the index number of 2, tuple will
be getting output of the range till index number of 1.
So, the elements are extracted from x to y minus y minus 1. So, the x index number will
be included for y it is exclusive. So, it will be y minus 1.
Let us say if I wanted to extract two elements from the employee underscore details tuple.
So, I wanted to extract name as well as age. So, if you give underscore details so, the
name corresponds to the index number of 1 right; employee name it corresponds to the
index number of 1, age it corresponds to the index number of 2, salary details it corresponds
to the index number of 3. So, if you give 1 is to 3 so, what it does
is so, 1 will be included. So, the index number will be included 3 will not be included. So,
it will be 3 minus 1 so, it will be 2. So, we will be getting an output of John and 35
so, which corresponds to the employee name and age. So, only elements with the index
number of 1 and 2 will be printed 3 will not be printed in this case.
Let us say if I wanted to extract id, employee name, age from the employee underscore details.
So, we have four elements right a id, employee name, age and salary details, but I wanted
to extract only the 3 elements from the employee underscore details. So, if we give print of
employee underscore details within the square bracket colon is to 3 so, it will be able
to print id, the employer name and age values. So, the id will be having p 0 0 1 John and
the age value which is 35. So, the all the elements will be printed except the corresponding
corresponding to index number 3. So, it will be 3 minus 1 so, the elements will be printed
till the index number 2. So, let us says if I wanted to calculate the
length of a tuple. So, if you have more elements in the tuple when you are created so, let
us say I wanted to check the length of the tuple. So, for command is l e n so, it basically
returns the length of the tuples. So, which means a number of elements in the tuple. The
syntax is l e n followed by the tuple name which we have declared earlier.
So, in our case our tuple name is employee underscore details. So, if you give length
of employee underscore details so, it returns you an value of 4 which means so, you have
four elements in the tuples. So, basically we have id, employee name, age and the salary
details. Next we will let us see how to calculate the
minimum and maximum from the tuple. So, if you have a quantitative data with integer
or numeric value. So, if you wanted to calculate the minimum and maximum so, you can use the
built in functions which are available in python.
So, min is a built in function. So, if you wanted to calculate the lowest value in the
tuples so, you can use the min function. So, if I wanted to calculate the highest value
in the tuple so, we can use the max function. So, syntax for min is min followed by the
tuple name. So, now, I will create a tuple of marks secured by students in English subject.
So, now I am creating a tuple called English which has sets of values, 56 85 96 75 and
12. So, while creating a tuple the element should be separated by commas. So, I wanted
to calculate the minimum value for this marks secured by the students in English. So, if
you find out so, the minimum value will be 12. So, we will use the built in function
as well. So, if you give min of English so, you will be getting an output of 12 max of
English so, which returns you an values of 96.
Let us look at how to combine the 2 tuples or more tuples. So, 2 tuples can be concatenated
by using the operations which are available in python. So, if we have tuple one plus tuple
2, we can combine the 2 tuples. So, we can also combined the more tuples as well. So,
we already created a tuple with a employee details. Now I am going to create an another
tuple with employee education and department details. So, we already had employee underscore
details which as a id, age, employee name and salary details. So, now, I am creating
an employee underscore details 2 which as the education, M.com and the department details
he belongs to just Accounts. Now, we will see how to combine the 2 tuples.
This is our tuple one and we have created employee details 2 which is our tuple two.
So, I am going to combined the tuple one and tuple 2 together. So, we can also store it
in a some other variable name or else if you wanted to print it as well you can print the
2 tuples by using the plus symbol. So, I wanted to print the updated tuple.
So, if you give print employee underscore details plus employee underscore details 2.
So, you can see the combined 2 tuples; those now we will have id, employee name, age, salary
details and as well as a education and as well as a department which he belongs to.
Next we will see how to modify the components of a tuple. So, the tuples are different from
list in the sense, he will not be able to modified the tuples once created. So, in this
we saw how to add or remove the elements from the lists right, but in the tuple we will
not be able to add or remove from the tuples using as well as a index numbers or as well
as the built in functions. So, append del remove those functions will not be working
in this tuple. So, in this case, now I wanted to change the
id. So, already we had corresponding to the index number 0 we had p 0 0 1. But now I wanted
to change the id value. So, now, I am replacing with p 0 0 2 corresponds to the index number
of 0, but it throws me an error of type error tuple object does not support item assignment.
Once the tuple has been created will not be able to modify which means you will not be
able to add or remove elements from the tuple. So, let us summarize. So, we saw how to create
tuples values inside the tuples are separated by commas and enclosed by the parenthesis.
We saw the indexing. So, there are 2 types of indexing one is positive indexing and the
other one is negative indexing. So, positive indexing it always starts from 0 to n minus
1. So, the negative indexing, it starts from the rightmost to the leftmost. We also saw
how to access the components from a tuple so, you need to specify the index numbers
in the tuples. So, if I wanted to extract age from the tuples, you have to specify the
index number. We also saw how to extract 2 or more elements
from the tuple using the slicing. So, let us say if I wanted to extract 2 elements from
the tuple, you need to specify the x and y values. So, x is the index number will be
included in the tuple, y the index number will not included. So, it will be elements
will be extracted from x to y minus 1 we also saw some of the built in functions which are
available in python which is the length its written the length of the tuple which means
the number of elements in the tuple. We also saw the minimum function and maximum function.
So, these can be used for the quantitative data.
We also saw concatenation of a tuple. So, how to combine the 2 tuples? So, you can also
use it plus and you are going to if you wanted to multiple the tuples as well you can use
the multiple function as well. So, we also saw concatenation of a tuple how to combine
2 or more tuples. So, you can use the plus operator . We also saw the modifying components
in the tuple, we will not be able to modify the components using the index number or as
well as the built in functions as well. The major advantage is so, once you have created,
the tuples will not be able to modify .
