Question

How we update and delete tuples ?

Answer 1

We cannot update or delete tuples as they are immutable.

• In python, tuples are sequences which are quite similar to lists.

• Tuples can be easily created by adding values separated by commas.

• The values of tuples cannot be changed unlike lists but certain portions can be taken to create new ones.

They can be converted to lists in order to make changes:

1) Convertion to list using built-in function

list( ).

2) A new value is assigned to the element at a certain index.

3) Another built-in function- tuple( ) is used to convert the list object back to tuple.

• A different method can be adopted to delete tuples which is Slice notation but it creates problems.
