Python Tuples

Ordered collections that cannot change.

✍️ 3 exercises + code challenge in this lesson
❮ Previous Next ❯

A tuple is like a list, but unchangeable (immutable). It is written with round brackets: point = (3, 4).

  • Use tuples for fixed groups of values, like coordinates or RGB colours.
  • A one-item tuple needs a comma: ("a",)
  • Unpacking: x, y = point
  • Methods: count() and index().

Key Takeaways: Python Tuples

Mastering Python Tuples helps you write clean and reliable Python code. Follow standard conventions, test edge cases, and keep logic simple. Try running the code example below and complete the exercises to build confidence.

Python Tuples Code Example

Python 
point = (3, 4)
x, y = point
print("x:", x, "y:", y)

rgb = (37, 99, 235)
print("Red value:", rgb[0])

try:
    rgb[0] = 0
except TypeError as e:
    print("Error:", e)

name, *scores = ("Ali", 80, 92, 75)
print(name, scores)
