Loop Through a Tuple

You can loop through the tuple items by using a for loop.

python

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
  for val_1 in thistuple:  print(val_1)

Learn more about for loops in our Python For Loops Chapter.

You can also loop through the tuple items by referring to their index number.

Use the range() and len() functions to create a suitable iterable.

python

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
for i in range(len(thistuple)):
  print(thistuple[i])

You can loop through the tuple items by using a while loop.

Use the len() function to determine the length of the tuple, then start at 0 and loop your way through the tuple items by referring to their indexes.

Remember to increase the index by 1 after each iteration.

python

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
i = 0
while i < len(thistuple):
  print(thistuple[i])
  i = i + 1
