Update Tuples
Learn all about Update Tuples in this comprehensive tutorial.
- •Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that you cannot change, add, or remove items once the tuple is created.
- •Once a tuple is created, you cannot change its values.
- •Since tuples are immutable, they do not have a built-in append() method, but there are other ways to add items to a tuple.
- •Tuples are **unchangeable**, so you cannot remove items from it, but you can use the same workaround as we used for changing and adding tuple items:
Introduction
Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that you cannot change, add, or remove items once the tuple is created.
But there are some workarounds.
Change Tuple Values
Once a tuple is created, you cannot change its values. Tuples are unchangeable, or immutable as it also is called.
But there is a workaround. You can convert the tuple into a list, change the list, and convert the list back into a tuple.
Add Items
Since tuples are immutable, they do not have a built-in append() method, but there are other ways to add items to a tuple.
1. Convert into a list: Just like the workaround for changing a tuple, you can convert it into a list, add your item(s), and convert it back into a tuple.
2. Add tuple to a tuple. You are allowed to add tuples to tuples, so if you want to add one item, (or many), create a new tuple with the item(s), and add it to the existing tuple:
Remove Items
Tuples are unchangeable, so you cannot remove items from it, but you can use the same workaround as we used for changing and adding tuple items:
Or you can delete the tuple completely:
