Python Tuples

What is a tuple?

Tuples are like lists, but immutable — once created, you cannot change them. Use parentheses.

coords = (10, 20)
print(coords[0])  # 10
print(len(coords))  # 2

Unpacking

You can unpack tuple values into variables.

point = (3, 7)
x, y = point
print(f"x={x}, y={y}")

Try it yourself

Run the example below. Edit it and see what changes.

t = (1, 2, 3)
print(t)
print(t[0])
 

Common mistakes

• ⚠Trying to modify a tuple — tuples are immutable.
• ⚠Single-item tuple needs a trailing comma: (1,) not (1).
