Python Tuples Exercises

What is the type of the play_list ?

                play_list = ["Song 1", "Song 2", "Song 3", "Song 4", "Song 5"]

It is a Tuple It is a List

What is the type of the products ?

                products = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

It is a List It is a Tuple

Retrieve the last item from the tuple by using its index number .

                # Create a tuple
my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

# Retrieve the last item from the tuple
last_item = my_tuple['']

# Print the last item
print("Last item:", last_item)

What is the output of this code?

                # Create a tuple
my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

item = my_tuple[1]

# Print the item
print(item )

Apple Banana

What is the output of this tuple slicing ?

                # Create a tuple
my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

# Perform slicing
sliced_tuple = my_tuple[1:3]

# Print the sliced portion
print(sliced_tuple)

(‘Banana’, ‘Orange’) (‘Banana’, ‘Orange’, ‘Grapes’)

Retrieve and print the count of items in the tuple.

                # Create a tuple
my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

# Get the length of the tuple
tuple_length = ''(my_tuple)

# Print the length of the tuple
print("Length of the tuple:", tuple_length)

What is the output of this code?

                # Create a tuple
my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

# Get the length of the tuple
tuple_length = len(my_tuple)

# Print the length of the tuple
print(tuple_length)

What is the output of this program?

                my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

tuple_length = len(my_tuple)

item = my_tuple[tuple_length - 1]

print(item)

Grapes Mango

What is wrong with this code?

                my_tuple = ("Apple", "Banana", "Orange", "Grapes", "Mango")

my_tuple.insert('Strawberry')

print(my_tuple)

Strawberry must be inside double quotes Tuples are unchangeable, so we cannot add new items to them

Pass the my_tuple to the print_tuple_items function.

                # Define a function to print tuple items
def print_tuple_items(tuple_items):
    for item in tuple_items:
        print(item)

# Create a tuple
my_tuple = ('Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange', 'Grapes', 'Mango')

# Pass the tuple to the function and print each item
print_tuple_items('')

How do you describe the calculate_sum function?

                def calculate_sum(scores):
    total = 0
    for score in scores:
        total += score

    return total

scores = (85, 90, 92, 88, 95)
sum_of_scores = calculate_sum(scores)
print(sum_of_scores)

This function accepts a tuple of numbers, calculates the total of the numbers and returns the total This function accepts a tuple of numbers, adds 0 to each item of the tuple, and finally returns the modified tuple

What does this function returns ?

                def get_student_info():
    name = 'Jane Smith'
    age = 19
    grade = 'B+'
    return (name, age, grade)

It only returns the name It returns a Tuple containing the name, age and grade

Unpack the returned tuple into three variables.

                def get_student_info():
    name = 'Jane Smith'
    age = 19
    grade = 'B+'
    return (name, age, grade)

'' = get_student_info()

print('Student Name:', student_name)
print('Student Age:', student_age)
print('Student Grade:', student_grade)

, student_age student_name , student_grade

Imagine you are developing a data processing application that needs to store information about students. Each student has a unique ID (integer), a name (string), and their average score (float). The data are fixed and should not be modified.

Based on the scenario, which one is a suitable choice to represent each student’s data?

                # Using tuples
student1 = (1, "John Doe", 85.5)
student2 = (2, "Jane Smith", 92.0)
student3 = (3, "Alex Johnson", 78.9)

# OR

# Using Lists
student1 = [1, "John Doe", 85.5]
student2 = [2, "Jane Smith", 92.0]
student3 = [3, "Alex Johnson", 78.9]

Using lists for this scenario is a perfect choice, because lists provide better performance than tuples Using tuples for this scenario is a perfect choice, because tuples are immutable
